Nested If in Excel?

Nested If in Excel?

New D.I.C Head Joined: 26 Nov, 2008 Posts: 8	Im trying to do a crossreference phonenumbers from different spreadsheets (one file). So I have a nested if statement but it will only do the first statement the and not the 'else if' when it has to. here is the code: CODE =IF(MATCH($B1,Sheet2!B:B,0),"Don't call", IF(MATCH($B1,Sheet3!B:B,0),"Seen","Call")) I either get 'Don't call' or '#N/A' as result Please note that I don't know how to create these functions in Excel and that I made this one by what I could find on the internet. Edit; 11:34am June18 After trying a lot of code I got this: CODE =IF(ISNA(IF(MATCH($B1,Sheet2!B:B,0),"Don't call","")),IF(ISNA(IF(MATCH($B1,Sheet3!B:B,0),"Seen","")), "Call", IF(MATCH($B1,Sheet3!B:B,0),"Seen","")),IF(MATCH($B1,Sheet2!B:B,0),"Don't call",)) Seems to work so far, let me know if I could shorten it up or something:) This post has been edited by mastermikeyboy: 18 Jun, 2009 - 06:36 AM

See if this is working for ya? Also, have you tried assigning row numbers to it for testing to make sure its actually iterating through the whole column? If its not, you may need to go from B to C to catch the whole column. Excel tends to be quirky like that.
