Shorter nested IF statements in Excel

November 27, 2007Leave a reply

This code checks to see if A1 equals the letters K, H or L.

Instead of using:

=IF(A1="K",TRUE,IF(A1="H",TRUE,IF(A1="L",TRUE,FALSE)))

You can use:

=IF(OR(A1="K",A1="H",A1="L"),TRUE,FALSE)

As you can see, it’s a lot shorter and makes a lot more sense. Especially if you need to add more to it in the future.

Create a file called stylesheet.php and link to it in you’re page. Then play with this code:

<?php
header(‘Content-type: text/css’);

// Colour scheme
$primary    = "#44749d";
$secondary  = "#c6d4e1";
$tertiary   = "#ffffff";
$quaternary = "#ebe7e0";
$quinary    = "#bdb8ad";
?>

BODY {
background: <?php echo $tertiary ?>;
color: #000000;
margin: 0px;
}
