As the third input parameter of the IF function, which is what to display if the first input parameter is false, insert another IF function.

Example:

="It's " & IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=1,"Sunday!",IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=2,"Monday!",IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=3,"Tuesday!",IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=4,"Wednesday!",IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=5,"Thursday!",IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=6,"Friday!","Saturday!"))))))

Prior to Excel 2007, the maximum was 7. From Excel 2007, the limit has been raised to 64. However, it becomes very impractical using too many nested IFs, so it is better to look for other ways where it is possible, like breaking down your formulas or using a lookup function, like VLOOKUP.
