Hi guys,

First time really using excel so I know my understanding of the language isn't fantastic so please bear with me.

I have used the data validation method/tool to create two drop down lists in cells C2 and C3 - one has 4 parameters (C2) and the other only has 2 parameters (C3). I am trying to create a statement that pulls different cells from another sheet depending on the drop down box selection. e.g. If the user selects "egg" and "dry" then a question only related to those two answers would appear in that cell.

I am using an =If(AND()) statement to do this and since I have technically 8 different questions (4 true statements and 4 false) there are too many arguments within my statement.

An example of the code is
=IF(AND($C$2="Egg",$C$3="Wet"),Code!F48,Code!I48,IF(AND($C$2="Tadpole",$C$3="Wet"),Code!F53,Code!I53))

- I have two more parameters which would follow on from this statement, and was wondering if what I am trying to do was possible?

I also understand that this would be simple for most experienced user, but I am struggling and would appreciated any type of help or knowledge!

Thanks in advance :)

Putt this in D3

Code:
=IF(AND($C$2="Egg",$C$3="Wet"),code![B]F48[/B],IF(AND($C$2="Tadpole",$C$3="Wet"),code![B]F53[/B],IF(AND($C$2="[B]yourword[/B]",$C$3="[B]yourword[/B]"),code![B]F58[/B],IF(AND($C$2="[B]yourword[/B]",$C$3="[B]yourword[/B]"),code![B]F63[/B],0))))
