'If' formulas
Is it possible to have a formula that consists of two 'if' formulas? That is check a cell first and then if a certain value then apply another 'if' formula.

Yes. This is possible. When multiple IF() statements are used it's referred to as nested IFs.
Here is a formula example:

Newer Versions of Excel also have an IFS() function which can evaluate multiple conditions without nesting:
