How to use Else IF Condition in formula field?

Hi Every one,
                     I have three check boxes and it have different input fields. When i select perticular checkbox respective amount field should display. same for other two also. So I have to check three conditions and respective field have to fetch.

Here is my formula:
IF(Travel_Request__r.Cash_Advance__c ==True, Travel_Request__r.Amount__c ,0,
Else If(Travel_Request__r.Travel_Card_Loaded__c ==True,  Travel_Request__r.Travel_card_Amount__c , 0 ),
Else if( Travel_Request__r.Travelers_Cheque__c ==True,( Travel_Request__r.Denomination__c * Travel_Request__r.Quantity__c),0))
)  

How can i do it with out else condition.

Use OR instead of else.

I checked it but it is not working because it returns boolean, we need currency return type.

Try the below formula with return type currency in formula field.

IF(Travel_Request__r.Cash_Advance__c ==True, Travel_Request__r.Amount__c ,If(Travel_Request__r.Travel_Card_Loaded__c ==True, Travel_Request__r.Travel_card_Amount__c , if( Travel_Request__r.Travelers_Cheque__c ==True,( Travel_Request__r.Denomination__c * Travel_Request__r.Quantity__c),0)))

Hi Maharaj,
                 Yes I did same but it taking First condition in IF Expression.  No There is no Else in Formula field it is not checking second condition.

We don't need to use the else condtion in formula field.

Generaly Multiple IF condtion will works like If Else method [syntax: If(condition,truevalue,falsevalue) -- > IF(condition,true, IF(condition,true,false)).

Can you please test it properly.

Thanks,
​Raj
