I need to nest some of the functions, if that's possible.

Generally you can nest functions several levels deep in any spreadsheet.
Typically the maximum is 7 levels but I would not go beyond about 3
because it becomes to difficult to follow the logic. You could have
something like =if( (x or y), if( (a and b),
sum(d:d),average(d:d)),stdev(d:d)).

Hi, Jay,

It's the actual syntax of the nesting I'm interested in. I've learned the syntax varies from one to another, and Calc seems to be slightly different than Excel, which I used years ago.

Trying to avoid a lot of blind trial and error.   LOL

As for the number of levels, I used to know a guy who hated Excel because there was a nesting limit. But he loved Quattro Pro because there were no nesting level limits.
