Use of range in an if function

[helpmeplease]

I have a nubmer of days that needs to fall into a certain week number for
pricing calculations. If the number of days is 3:8 then it is 1 week; 9:15
is 2 weeks; and 16:21 is 3 weeks. Right now the function is able to
correctly calculate week 1 and week 2. If I try to insert the week 3
function, I get an error that there are too many arguments. "N5" is the cell
with the number of days. I'm not very advanced with excel (it took me all
morning to get this far), so I would appreciate any help. Thanks!!

=IF(N5<9,IF(N5>2,1,0),IF(N5<16,IF(N5>8,2,0),0))

[CLR]

Maybe this..........

=IF(N5>2,LOOKUP(N5,{3,9,16,22},{1,2,3,"Exceeds limit"}),"")

Try this...

=IF(N1>=3, IF(N1>9, IF(N1>15, IF(N1>21, 0, 3), 2), 1), 0)

I must say though that nesting that many IFs is a bit messy. Why not try
using a look-up table of some description?

Help --

Try something like:

=IF(N5<3,0,IF(N5<9,1,IF(N5<16,2,IF(N5<22,3,"Too Long!"))))

The other smarter guys around here will have more elegant ways to do this,
but it should work just fine.

pdberger,

Try this,

=IF(N5>=16,3,IF(N5>=9,2,IF(N5>=3,1,0)))

Try this:

=LOOKUP(N5,{0,3,9,16;0,1,2,3})

Or...........

=LOOKUP(N5,{0,3,9,16,22},{"",1,2,3,"Exceeds limit"})

Thanks a bunch. I knew that my way was a messy way, but as I said I don't
know that much about excel. It works now, though. Thanks.

Just to be different. Doesn't have error checking though.

=--(N5>=3)+(N5>=9)+(N5>=16)
