Check the references given here: Why is using Pick and Match functions combination thought to be faster than nested IF statements?

May be try this:

=If(Match(PG, 'M', 'P others', 'NE', 'PE', 'HC', 'EC', 'FOOD', 'BIO', 'DIS, 'SB', 'Ca', 'PH', 'PRO', 'SEYO', Dual('Others',26), Pick(Match(PG, 'CP', 'PC', 'VC', 'ALL') + 1, PG, Dual('CPS',12), Dual('PCS', 10), Dual('VCS',11), Null()))

or

If(Match(PG, 'M', 'P others', 'NE', 'PE', 'HC', 'EC', 'FOOD', 'BIO', 'DIS, 'SB', 'Ca', 'PH', 'PRO', 'SEYO', Dual('Others',26), Pick(Match(PG, 'CP', 'PC', 'VC', 'ALL') + 1, PG, Dual('CPS',12), Dual('PCS', 10), Dual('VCS',11), Null())) as NewPG

why you use +1

[sunny_talwar]

For when it doesn't meet the criteria, the match will give 0 and then adding 1 to will give the value associated with PG. and then all the values within Match will increment by 1 for pick to do its job.

If(Match(PG, 'M', 'P others', 'NE', 'PE', 'HC', 'EC', 'FOOD', 'BIO', 'DIS, 'SB', 'Ca', 'PH', 'PRO', 'SEYO', Dual('Others',26), Pick(Match(PG, 'CP', 'PC', 'VC', 'ALL') + 1, PG, Dual('CPS',12), Dual('PCS', 10), Dual('VCS',11), Null())) as NewPG
