Google Sheets Nested IF statement

[Ralphie8on]

I have a google Sheet with 2 tabs. The second tab is a giant 330 row table of data to be pulled into the first tab. In the first tab I have 30 rows that use the drop down to grab a name from the 2nd tab and fill out the rest of the row. I have attached the link to the doc and you can see what i mean on rows 28 - 57. I am trying to do a nested if statement in cell H20 that reads like this:

=If(A28:D57="Mighty 4",G2+4, if(A28:D57="Mighty 3", G2+3, if(A28:D57="Mighty 2", G2+2, if(A28:D57="Mighty 1", G2+1, G2))) )

What i want is that cell to add what is in cell G2 with either 4, 3, 2, or 1 depending on if someone has selected Mighty of that version in the drop down.

I keep getting "A matching value can't be found To get the value of the entire range use the ARRAYFORMULA function" Once i add in that function it wants to replace all of the cells in the vicinity. Am I using the right formula or is there a better way to do this or am i just not able to complete this action?

What exactly do you mean by this part of the formula:

If(A28:D57="Mighty 4"

Are you trying to test if any of those cells contain Mighty 4? Or if all of them do? Or something else? What if one of those cells has Mighty 4 and another has Mighty 3? What should happen?

I want the highest number to be counted. I thought that if i wrote it with the highest first and down from there that it would stop if it found the correct value.

What I want is for the highest number to be added. Like if Mighty 1 and Mighty 2 were in teh selection I just want the Mighty 2 function to work.

Your formula is testing each cell and returning an array of True/False values. I suspect you want:

If(COUNTIF(A28:D57,"Mighty 4")>0

and similar for the other tests.

Thank you so much that worked perfectly
