IF - ELSE IF - ELSE Structure in Excel

Say P7 is a Cell then you can use the following Syntex to check the value of the cell and assign appropriate value to another cell based on this following nested if:

=IF(P7=0,200,IF(P7=1,100,IF(P7=2,25,IF(P7=3,10,IF((P7=4),5,0)))))

=IF(CR<=10, "RED", if(CR<50, "YELLOW", if(CR<101, "GREEN")))

CR = ColRow (Cell) This is an example. In this example when value in Cell is less then or equal to 10 then RED word will appear on that cell. In the same manner other if conditions are true if first if is false.


When FIND returns #VALUE!, it is an error, not a string, so you can't compare FIND(...) with "#VALUE!", you need to check if FIND returns an error with ISERROR. Also FIND can work on multiple characters.

So a simplified and working version of your formula would be:

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("abc",A1))=FALSE, "Green", IF(ISERROR(FIND("xyz",A1))=FALSE, "Yellow", "Red"))

Or, to remove the double negations:

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("abc",A1)), IF(ISERROR(FIND("xyz",A1)), "Red", "Yellow"),"Green")
