        <pre>Imagine the following situation: You have a cell in column A which contains a
value in dependence of which you want to set the value of a cell in columb B.

Expamle:  Cell B4 depends on A1.

Cell A1      Cell B4
   1             A
   13            B
   27            C
   65            D
   77            E

Normally you would have to do something like this in the formula of cell B4:

= IF (A1=1;"A" ; IF (A1=13;"B"; IF (A1=27;"C"; IF (A1=65;"D"; IF (A1=77;"E" ;
"" )))))

That's why I suggest to add a new function "IFVALUE", or "WENNWERT" in the
German localization.

The usage would be like this:

= IFVALUE (referenced cell ; IF-value1;THEN-value1 ; IF-value2;THEN-value2 ;
IF-value3;THEN-value3 ; ELSE-value)

So the above example could be shortened like this:
= IFVALUE (A1 ; 1;"A"; 13;"B"; 27;"C"; 65;"D"; 77;"E"; "")</pre>
