I'm sure this has been asked a million times so I apologize for the repetitiveness.

Having trouble entering multiple formulas in a cell

Example what I have so far:

In Cell A1

=IF(A2=7, "A")

That means if cell A2 value is 7 then it will put an A in cell A1.
Got that good so far.
How do I make multiple rules?
=IF(A2=8,"B")
=IF(A2=9,"C")

I think I have the formulas down, just can't for the life of me remember how to combine them into one formula for the selected cell.

Thanks in Advance!

Welcome to the Board!

If you want it all in one cell, you want to nest your IF statements, i.e.
Code:
=IF(A2=7,"A",IF(A2=8,"B",IF(A2=9,"C","")))

Hi,

You can also use the LOOKUP function for your scenario:


Book1
ABCDEFG
1ABC#N/A#N/A 
278955
Sheet4
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
A1=LOOKUP(A2,{7,8,9},{"A","B","C"})
F1=IFERROR(LOOKUP(F2,{7,8,9},{"A","B","C"}),"")


A1 formula copied across to E1, if you may have BLANK or values other than 7, 8, or 9 in row 2, then wrap the formula with IFERROR as shown in F1 (copied to G1 in sample).
