    Re: You've entered too many arguments for this function

    Each IF statement has 3 elements; the condition, the value to return if the condition is true and the value to return if the condition is false.

    In your statement the highlighted IF functions exceed this number of elements:

    =IF(I3>O3,IF(I3>P3,IF(I3>Q3,IF(I3>R3,IF(I3>S3,"above 40ema","above 30ema","above 20ema","above 10ema"),"above 5ema",IF(I3<O3,IF(I3<P3,IF(I3<Q3,IF(I3<R3,IF(I3<S3,"below 40ema","below 30ema","below 20ema"),"below 5ema"),"No Signal"))))

    And the rest of the IF statements seem badly formed. I'd suggest your brackets need sorting out, or you tell us what you're trying to do.

    Are you trying to get a single answer which says whether the value in column I is above or below that of each column in O:S?

    Re: You've entered too many arguments for this function

    On the same file, can any one help me to develop a formula where it compares price of column I with prices of columns O,P,Q,R & S and in case if price is higher than all, it should say that "above all EMA" and in case if price is not higher than any column price, it should give message accordingly. For example, if price is not higher than column O & P, it should say that "above 20EMA". Please help me to develop such formula on above attached sheet. Thanks in advance for the help.

    I think my formula in #7 can do.
