Hi Amel,

Try this

= IF(N5="Alinity hq I (173)","Amel Al Faris", IF(N5="Alinity hq II (198)","Amel Al Faris", IF(N5="Sysmex 2500","Moneer")))

When specifying a text string as a result you need to wrap it in quotes i.e. "Amel Al Faris"

Also, as it is that formula will work but it does not specify a result if the final IF is false.  So IF(N5="Sysmex 2500","Moneer") does not have a value for a False result meaning IF will actually return the Boolean value False.

Please see attached file for working formula.

Phil
