Nested Formula

How many times can you nest a formula in excel 2003? I heard that an IF statement could be done 7 times max, is this the case for all statements?

Many Thanks
Adam

RE: Nested Formula

Hi Adam,

A formula can only contain up to 7 levels of nested functions which may include various function types.

When Function B is used as an argument in Function A, Function B is a second-level function. For instance, the AVERAGE function and the SUM function are both second-level functions because they are arguments of the IF function. A function nested within the AVERAGE function would be a third-level function, and so on.

I hope that this helps.

Excel tip:

Remove unused toolbar buttons

Are there buttons on your Excel toolbars that you never use? Remove them from the toolbar by doing the following:

1. Go to Tools - Customise - Commands.
2. Select the toolbar button you wish to remove, then use your mouse to drag and drop the button into the Excel window. When you release your finger from the mouse, the button will disappear.
