Error in Excel IF formula

What is the error in the below formula

 

=IF((AND(D14="G",E14="II","6",AND(D14="I",E14="II","8",AND(D14="II",E14="III","8",AND(D14="III",E14="I","8"))))))

    The error in your formula is related to incorrect nesting of the AND function within the IF function. Each AND function should be used to combine multiple conditions, but they are not properly nested within the IF function.

    Here is the corrected version of your formula:

    =IF( AND(D14="G", E14="II"), "6", IF( AND(D14="I", E14="II"), "8", IF( AND(D14="II", E14="III"), "8", IF( AND(D14="III", E14="I"), "8", "" ) ) ) )

    In this corrected formula:

    • Each AND function is used to combine two conditions.
    • The IF function is nested properly to handle multiple conditions and return different values based on those conditions.
    • I've added closing parentheses to match the opening parentheses for each AND and IF function.The text and steps were edited with the help of AI.
