    Nesting IF Statement

    Cross posted at http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/show...135#post255149



    I could really use a big hand and any help is much appreciated. I'm just not proficient enough to nest all of theses statements into a single, concise statement that would live in cell G24.

    Hi,

    Please upload your workbook so that we can see the request in context. It's almost certain that there will be more efficient way than nested IF statements but we can advise more accurately when we see the workbook.

    I'm afraid your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. You'll find people are disinclined to respond to cross-posts because they may be wasting their time solving a problem that has been solved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser)to the cross-post. Expect cross-posts without a link to be closed a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    Re: Nesting Complex IF Statements

    Hi,

    Please now explain what you expect the final result to be in G24 and importantly explain how you arrive at it with reference to all the specific cells that you are taking into account in your calculation.

    Regards

    Re: Nesting Complex IF Statements

    Absolutely. By combining the 12 statements and outputting the result in G24, I expect the final result to be a date, whereas the result depends on the following conditions:

    H38 is a type of material
    G28 is the Day of the Week expressed as a number
    G29 is the time of day
    G26 is the day the document was created

    For example, if the material is canvas, and the day of the week is tuesday, and the time of day is 7AM, then G24 would be G26 + 1.

    Did I explain this well enough? I've internalized it, I suppose, and now don't even know If i'm explaining it properly! Thanks again.

    Hi,

    You still haven't said what you expect the final result should be in G24, and importantly why.

    Regards

    Re: Nesting Complex IF Statements

    The final result is not static as it depends on the conditions. It will, however, be a date plus a defined number as given be satisfied conditions. G24 will take the day the document was created (G26) and add a defined number of days(as defined in the statement), thus creating a new date.

    As to the why, I don't think I understand the importance.

    Re: Nesting Complex IF Statements

    firehousetk,

    Since you already have the formulas, you can use a lookup to find which one results in a number instead of "Ok" and then pull the result for that formula. I looked into nesting all the formulas together, but with a .xls file, there are too many nested statements and the formula fails, so I think the lookup is the way to go for this one.

    Attached is a modified version of your workbook. In cell G24 is the formula:

    Then you can just hide rows 49 to 61 if you want.
