Q&A How to add to the value of one cell an amount that depends upon the range of a different cell?

A user of Web Applications asked how to: +1 when the value is >=5, +2 when the value is >=10, +3 when the value is >=15, +4 when the value is >=20, +5 when the value is >=25...

  • A user of Web Applications [asked](https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/135256/google-sheet-if-function-not-working) how to:
  • > - +1 when the value is >=5,
  • > - +2 when the value is >=10,
  • > - +3 when the value is >=15,
  • > - +4 when the value is >=20,
  • > - +5 when the value is >=25
  • and had tried:
  • =IF(F7>=5,H7+1,IF(F7>=10,H7+2,IF(F7>=15,H7+3,IF(F7>=20,H7+4,H7))))
  • in Google Sheets without success. The formula does however indicate that the 'value' resides in `F7` and supplementation is of the `H7` value.

  • As explained by [an answer](https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/135262) that retains the original concept of nested IFs:
  • <pre> =IF(
  • F7>=25,H7+5,
  • IF(
  • F7>=20,H7+4,
  • IF(
  • F7>=15,H7+3,
  • IF(
  • F7>=10,H7+2,
  • IF(F7>=5,H7+1,H7)
  • )
  • )
  • )
  • )</pre>
  • >If the first condition is F7>=5 then the result will always be +1 wether F7 = 5, 15, or even 200.
  • It's because the first condition F7>=5 is always met.
  • Stepping down the ranges does achieve the desired result but is there a shorter of more versatile solution, since nested IFs with ranges are often problematic?
