Exercise: Purchase Ledger Codes - Nested If

A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!

1)	Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-808.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it).
2)	Create a nested If function to translate the codes in the Area Code column into full descriptions based on the following criteria: MS = Market Stall OA = Other Activities IE = Import\Export
3)	Copy the function down and make sure that it works.
	You should be able to do this using just two If functions
4)	Try expanding the formula so that you see an appropriate error message if you don't type in one of the above three codes.
	Make sure the rest of the formula still works!
5)	Save the file with the same name and close it down.

Thank you for showing an interest in this Advanced Excel 2007 training course! As mentioned above, full answers to this and other exercises are provided on the course. On all Wise Owl scheduled courses delegates can take away these model answers (together with their own efforts!) on a free USB stick.
