help determining proper function to use
I need help determining the proper function if one exists.
I am comparing 2 different cells to determine a number to place in another cell.
The basis is:
IF c2="NIL" and d2="ASCUS" then "1/2" should be in e2 OR
IF c2="NIL" and d2="LSIL" then "1" should be in e2 OR
IF c2="NIL" and d2="HSIL" then "2" should be in e2.
There are multiple other comparison I want to make also. So maybe 6 different comparisons in e2.
Thanks.

I'd create a small lookup table. In the screenshot below, it is in H2:I7.
The formula in E2 is
=IF(C2="NIL",VLOOKUP(D2,$H$2:$I$7,2,FALSE),"")- Hey thanks for that. That will probably be my best bet going forward. Now to add other scenarios. with c2.
if c2=ascus and d2=nil then e2="1/2 or
if c2=lsil and d2=nil then e2=1 or
c2=hsil and d2=ascus then e2=2.
How can I do vlookup with c2 being multiple different things?
thanks.
