Hello, everyone.

I looked all over the internet and found no solution to this issue. I want my cell to show a text depending on the value the previous one is showing. To be precise:

Show: "children" if value in cell is between 0 to 12..., "adolescent" if value in cell is between 13 to 17 and "adult" if value is 18 or above.

So far, I know that if I do a

=IF(A1 <= 12; "Children")

it works fine, but if I try something like...

=IF(A1 <= 12; "Children", A1 <= 17; "Adolescent"; A1 >= 18; "Adult")

...it won't work. Can you guys help me out on this one? Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Try:
[TABLE="width: 480"]
<colgroup><col width="480"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 480"]
Code:
[TABLE="width: 480"]
<colgroup><col width="480"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
   [TD="width: 480"]=IF(A1<=12,"Children",IF(A1<=17,"Adolescent","Adult"))[/TD]
 [/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Another option would be
Code:
=LOOKUP(A1,{0,13,18},{"Children","Adolescent","Adult"})

Hello, everyone, and thanks for the warm welcome.

Sadly, none of the functions above worked for me (Formula parse error). Do we have any other options? Thank you!

Could it be that your language setting for Excel uses a semicolon instead of a comma in its formulas?

Code:
=IF(A1<=12;"Children";IF(A1<=17;"Adolescent";"Adult"))

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.
Peter's formula should also work for you (change , to ; ).
