What does it mean when Excel says "you've entered too many criteria" in an IF formula?

Excel only allows a limited number of nested IF statements. If you have too many options to check, maybe its better to consider VLOOKUP instead.

Or you have more than two commas for single IF, like

=IF(A1=1,1,"",3)
