Hi,
 
I have a bunch of conditions, built within each other. How can I get around this error to add more conditions? Is there a better way of doing this?

    Hi
     
    If you have more than 8 IF conditions then try to split up the IF conditions in batches. Other option is have a look at Expressions.  Again you need to split the IF conditions. There are few ways to solve this. 
     
    Here is a good blog about IF expressions.
     
     
    Thanks

    You will need to explain what you are trying to do before someone could offer an alternative. One thing I can tell you, you cannot exceed the limit of 8. Do the conditions need to be within one another, or can the next condition come after a prior condition so they are not nested? Depending on what you're doing, a switch may work.
