Formula Help
I need help from someone who knows the answer to my question below. I have this Nested IF Statement whereby I want to when needed, provide a separate answer if the statement is False. For instan...
Your Final Formula:
IFERROR(
IF(
OR(
AND(E2="HVAC",F2="AC",J2>85),
AND(E2="HVAC",OR(
F2="AC",
F2="Dehumidifier"

J2="No Power",
J2="Leaking",
J2="Noisy",
J2="Broken"
),
),
AND(E2="Appliance",OR(
F2="Dehumidifier",
F2="Dishwasher",
F2="Water Heater"

OR(
J2="No Power",
J2="Leaking",
J2="Noisy",
J2="Broken"

Personally, I'd recommend an altogether different approach. If you can create a table with the various combinations of possibilities and the message that should be appearing, the relatively new FILTER function can work, as the attached shows. I think I faithfully copied all your conditions and the right responses.....
FILTER does require the most recent version of Excel, however.
But a more fundamental point is that deep nested IFs (as you're experiencing) are very difficult to create in the first place, hard to maintain (if new conditions arise or the maintenance gets passed to someone else). A table is a far better solution over time and FILTER allows you to specify multiple conditions.
Thank you for your suggestion. I'll check it out when I get home.
