Formulas including several calculations

Hi Konrad,

Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question, Excel allows nested formulas. In the case of the If function you can nest up to 7 If's in one go, if you want to be sure that your function names are correct; perhaps for a while you should use the fx button on the Formula bar, clicking on this button will open a dialog box which will allow you to choose the correct function, and give you the syntax that is required for that function. As for rules of creating functions and ensuring that they follow the correct sequence consider BODMAS, this is the sequence in which Excel performs nested functions and formulas. BODMAS stands for B = () Brackets, O = ^ Ordinals (to the power of) D = / Division, M = * Multiplication, A = + Addition and S = - Subtraction. Always remember that Excel will work from the deepest () first, so if you have more than one set of brackets in your formula, Excel will calculate the deepest set first.

I hope that has helped. If so please click the resolved link, regards Pete
