Case Function Equivalent in Excel

Question

I have an interesting challenge - I need to run a check on the following data in Excel:

|   A  -   B  -   C  -  D   |
|------|------|------|------|
|  36  |          


        

Answer 1

Even if old, this seems to be a popular questions, so I'll post another solution, which I think is very elegant:

It's elegant because it uses just the IF function. Basically, it boils down to this:

if(condition, choose/use a value from the table, if(condition, choose/use another value from the table...

And so on

Works beautifully, even better than HLOOKUP or VLOOOKUP

but... Be warned - there is a limit to the number of nested if statements excel can handle.
