How many functions can I insert in ?
Attached is a screenshot with a complex function that I built and now I get an error message
The formula you specified can not be entered because it uses the most nesting levels allowed.
What is the solution?
Thank you!

Hi lea

I am using Excel 2010 and I believe the maximum level for nested IF() is 7 (Excel 2010).

Maybe you could try breaking your formula into 2 or more parts. It will all depend on the complexity of the formula.
