I'm new to excel. Trying to create formulas for Lab values obtained in a clinical trial.
For Example: SCr value for Male subjects must be >=1.5 but <=3.5. So I enter my lab values in Visit1 sheet, and then have queries populate in another sheet to discuss with Physicians.
I wrote a formula as follows based on previous posts on this site:
=IF(AND(Visit1!F26>=1.5, Visit1!F26<=3.5, Visit1!D6=Codes!G3), "", "SCr value out of range"
The formula works but I would like to have the message "Please confirm why the SCr value was not obtained" if I enter "Not Obtained" in Visit1!F26 instead of "SCr value out of Range"
p.s. I have things like gender, and "Not obtained" in my Codes! sheet as drop downs.
Please let me know if you need further clarification on my question, thanks,

Actually, when you work with nested ifs
and longer formulas, it is probably a best practice to put spaces between the different segements.
Like the formula in your case:
=IF(Visit1!F26="Not Obtained","Please confirm why the SCr value was not obtained",IF(AND(Visit1!F26>=1.5, Visit1!F26<=3.5, Visit1!D6=Codes!G3), "", "SCr value out of range"))
