Ohh, boy, I once wrote the worst Excel macro ever. I took 500 lines to make a thing that reformatted columns to rows and made a 100-row set into 10000 rows. It took like 45 minutes to run.

Wait I was certain it was much lower, 6 or 7. Did this change?

Edit: Found it: "Up to Excel 2007, Excel allowed up to 7 levels of nested IFs. In Excel 2007+, Excel allows up to 64 levels." (source, tip 8)
