hi my name is Justin Conway I'm a
Microsoft Excel expert and I'm going to
show you how to use nested formulas in
Microsoft Excel the reason you would use
the nested formula is because you want
to perform several functions but have
that data all calculated and then input
into one cell so for instance we take a
look at my workbook here this sheet I
have averages and if I wanted to
calculate how the average would be
converted into a actual alphanumeric
score I would need a nested formula to
perform that function and I have one
installed here so you can see I'll break
down the way this formula is laid out
first of all it's called an F function
that you would be using to perform this
particular nest and so it B equals F and
then open parenthesis and let me quickly
explain also if you see all the way at
the end you see multiple end parenthesis
marks this is because the way you
perform a nest is housing the different
bits of parentheses inside the one main
parentheses is the first one this is the
last one and then you have the different
functions in between which are nested
and and they're all closed out with with
their respective parentheses at the end
and it's color-coded so that you can see
this is the last formula in green and
this these parentheses are how straight
in this area okay so what you do is
refer to after your parentheses refer to
the cell that you want to calculate the
value here I want to know if the value
is greater than 89 and if it is I put in
a comma and that will be the value that
comes next and the value I want to
display is an actual capital letter A
and that'll tell me that that score is
actually you know the grade a so then
you want to perform your next function
which is another if
and you want to say if the grade is
greater than 79 then that person should
receive a B so it's the same as the
first function it's simply nested notice
that there is no closed parenthesis over
here it's open parentheses comma another
F function and another open parenthesis
and then once you create all of your
functions going across you close out all
of the functions within parenthesis so
that's basically how to create a nested
formula in Excel my name is Justin
Conway I hope you enjoyed
