choongko Then your Excel version probably doesn't support the IFS function. From the help screens, this is what it says:
"Note: This feature is available on Windows or Mac if you have Office 2019, or if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription"
So, if IFS doesn't work in your Excel version you are stuck with regular nested IF functions.
EDIT: Should have seen this from the start as the #NAME? error indicates that Excel doesn't recognise something as a valid function. But I just copied your original formula into a mock-up schedule and got a different error. Then I focussed on resolving that error in stead of addressing the name error.
