#n/a

The thing is, I have to compare if one cell against 3 different ranges while comparing if another cell equals yes or no.

Really hard to think about this without looking at the file, but have you tried doing a sumif array at all? Not sure if it would help.

That shite looks like a mess. Do one piece at a time until you get what you want.

Use Evaluate formula and step into each nested statement to find and isolate the error.

Good advice. Try something else. Limit the ifs.

On your first two, your last IF statement doesn't have a value_if_false. You need one more argument.

Instead of trying to nest all that, do each instance separately, with the NO option at the end equal to "".

Then concatenate them all together.

I thought I was an excel whiz because I could insert a drop down menu into a cell. Clearly I need to never be satisfied.

i got it!

=IF(AND(SUMPRODUCT(--(Panels_1_1_4=Windows!C33)), Windows!C34="No"), CONCATENATE(Windows!C33, " Jamb Fin"), IF(AND(SUMPRODUCT(--(Panels_1_1_4=Windows!C33)), Windows!C34="Yes"), "Universal Jamb Fin", IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(IWP_Panels=Windows!C33)), "InsulVIEW", IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(Other_Panels=Windows!C33)), CONCATENATE(Windows!C33, " Jamb Fin", "" )))))

THAT'S THE ANSWER!!!

Break it out and make each section work on its own. And then put it together. That will make it easier to spot an issue rather than just looking at the entire formula at one time.
