    Hi DrChris,

    You seem to have to many parenthesis (), but it seems to work OK for me?

    Hi Chippy

    Cheers for the reply

    Indeed it does, but adding another IF condition (for september for example), doesnt seem to work!

    =IF(K29=Jan!$B$34,Jan!$D$34,IF(K29=Feb!$B$31,Feb!$D$31,IF(K29=Mar!$B$33,Mar!$D$33,IF(K29=April!$B$32,April!$D$32,IF(K29=May!$B$34,May!$D$34,IF(K29=June!$B$32,June!$D$32,IF(K29=July!$B$33,July!$D$33,IF(K29=August!$B$34,August!$D$34,IF(K29=Sept!$B$31,Sept!$D$31,"")))))))))

    Any ideas?

    JustinBram: Looks like its 8

    Thing is, I need to do that for every month: i.e 12 IFs!

    Some links re if statements

    However if you need more than 7 if's you might be better off setting up a table and doing a vlookup

    Maybe a macro might be better.

    See attached example. Code from this link
