IF( major to minor range values)

Dear Mrs, I used the formula IF ( italian SE) to order the temperatures values so if different values come from first column(theta,r,w) I will have a specific theta,f. But I dind't find clear ho...

Thank you Peter, I think with Office 2016 I cannot try IFS. So I'm trying to use the nasted option. If you use AND, which mode to list the logical parameters is right with and/or and if? for Example let say I use your advice := AND(11<value, value<=12)

IF(AND(DG29<7,DG29=>6;CX29=50);1310;IF(AND(CX29>50,CX29<=55;DG29>7,DG29<8;1225);IF(AND(DG29<=9,DG29>8);1265;IF(AND(DG29>10,Dg29<=11;1305;IF(AND(DG29>12,dg29<=13);1346;"NO")))))
But In this formula I noticed that, out from the first bracket parameters,all cells are made by the grey/black color which means not correct order. Which is the right manner to dispone IF and E together without IFS?

I written IF(AND(1condition,2cond;3cond); 1310 should be recognizable
IF( 1 condition, AND(2,3 condition); IF true; IF False/NEW IF would not.

Did I have to buy new Office? I ll do it. Thank you Peter

Since you plan to use the nested IFs, bear in mind that the AND function needs to be closed

= IF(AND(DG29<7;DG29=>6);CX29=50; ... )

Alternatively
= IF((DG29<7)*(DG29=>6);CX29=50; ... )

and you need to use the ";" as a separator as you do elsewhere. You could also use multiplication as an equivalent to AND, since a product evaluates to 0 (i.e. FALSE) if either term is zero. In the main, your criteria do not need two terms because, simply getting to evaluate a condition implies that part of the condition is satisfied since it failed the previous test.

As for a new Office, I would recommend 365 at least until the pace of change settles down. It is backward compatible so it will run legacy solutions but its strength lies in the completely new methods that it supports. My normal solutions bear so little resemblance to traditional Excel that I am probably regarded as completely insane by the majority on the forum! I would stop using spreadsheets completely if I ever had to go back.

I now settle down the 365 Office Annual. Did you meanfor spreadsheets, for example, Libre Office and similar? ( I collected in fact various bugs or problems).

  I just use the desktop version because, for me, the use of defined names is essential. I work with dynamic array formulas all the time and almost all of my formulas involve LET and LAMBDA.
  Use what you know and take gentle steps to get your day job done, but read up and practice the new methods when you can.

    Thank you Peter Here What I found trying the steps before.
    Even I close the brackets, Excel says: " There are too many arguments", without specifies the discipline of them. I reported to you the second case where I used the multiplication factor instead of and. But in this case It says it contains an error.:
    SE((6<=DG29)*(DG29<7);CX29=50);1310;SE((50<=CX29)*(DG29<55)*(7<DG29);DG29<=8;1225);SE((8< DG29)*(DG29<=9);CX29>45;1265;SE((10<DG29)*(DG29<=11);CX29<45;1305;SE((12<DG29)*(DG29<=13);CX29>45;1346;))))))))
