Excel
What does it mean when Excel says "you've entered too many criteria" in an IF formula?

Or you have more than two commas for single IF, like
=IF(A1=1,1,"",3)
- Excel only allows a limited number of nested IF statements. If you have too many options to check, maybe its better to consider VLOOKUP instead.
