Code: 
=IF($B$14="My Generation Tour Adult Only",128,IF($B$14="Deluxe Tour",128,IF(AND($B$14="Jungle River Safari",$B$14="Power Boat Jeep Rental"),88,295)))

I have a pull down menu with 4 options. I'm attemping to make the prices in a cell change according to the text in cell B13.

The option Jungle river Safari still returns a price of 295 instead of 88. Where is my error?

Thank you.

Change the AND to OR

IF($B$14="My Generation Tour Adult Only",128,IF($B$14="Deluxe Tour",128,IF(OR($B$14={"Jungle River Safari","Power Boat Jeep Rental"}),88,295)))

Re: IF cell contains specific text enter this number questio

could you not trim this even more to...

Code: 
IF(OR($B$14={"My Generation Tour Adult Only","Deluxe Tour"}),128,IF(OR($B$14={"Jungle River Safari","Power Boat Jeep Rental"}),88,295)))
{untested}

if your list is going to get any more populated, i might suggest a lookup formula - seeing as that your limited to seven nested IF functions in any one given computation.

Strange. None of the formulas work. Everything put the Power Boat Jeep Rental choice is correct. It still gives me an amount of 88 when I select Power Boat Jeep Rental.

hello uvdoombot (nice name),

this is what i got...
Book2
BCDE
14PowerBoatJeepRental88
15JungleRiverSafari88
16DeluxeTour128
17MyGenerationTourAdultOnly128
Sheet1


formula was the same. only one change was made: absolute row reference was taken out as so i could copy formula down.

are these not the desired results? how do they differ?

Check for any extra spaces before, between, or after you tours, both in the formula and in B14

=IF(OR($B$14={"My generation tour adult only","power boat jeep rental"}),128,IF(OR($B$14={"jungle river safari","jeep power boat rental"}),88,295))

try copying and pasting this

It's worth to replace 3 IF's and one OR that you need (see Ekim's post) with one VLOOKUP...

=VLOOKUP(B14,{"Deluxe Tour",128;"Jungle River Safari",88;"My Generation Tour Adult Only",128;"Power Boat Jeep Rental",295},2,0)

okay, so i see where i missed the last desired piece of the puzzle from the OP (the 128 bit), but how do you think these two formulas match up against each other aladin?...
Book2
BCDE
14PowerBoatJeepRental88295295
15JungleRiverSafari888888
16DeluxeTour128128128
17MyGenerationTourAdultOnly128128128
Sheet1


formula 1:

=VLOOKUP(B14,{"Deluxe Tour",128;"Jungle River Safari",88;"My Generation Tour Adult Only",128;"Power Boat Jeep Rental",295},2,0)

formula 2:

=LOOKUP(B14,{"Deluxe Tour","Jungle River Safari","My Generation Tour Adult Only","Power Boat Jeep Rental";128,88,128,295})

i've often wondered how these two would perform next to each other in like conditions, one syntax to another. any idea aladin?
