Can someone please help me simplify this ugly, brute force formula?

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Short answer - probably not, not without more info.

What are you trying to do?
That probably is not really working as you expect, because you cannot to a test like 'File1'!BD:BD="3" because
1. You cannot test an entire column like that
2. if you are looking for the value 3, then you need to remove the "" or it becomes text.

For a start, I would MAYBE approach it from this angle...
=IF(AND(OR(AND('File1'!BD:BD="3", 'File1'!BC:BC="240"), AND('File1'!BD:BD="4", 'File1'!BC:BC="240"), AND('File1'!BD:BD="5", 'File1'!BC:BC="240"), AND('File1'!BD:BD="6", 'File1'!BC:BC="240"), AND('File1'!BD:BD="7", 'File1'!BC:BC="240"),AND('File1'!BD:BD="8", 'File1'!BC:BC="240")),.................
=IF(bc2=240, if(or(bd2>=3, bd2<=8)),...................

However, without wading through that monster, I suspect you could probably use a 2-d lookup table, using INDEX/MATCH/MATCH
