Display field value based on opportunity stage

I'm trying to create a formula field which wwill dsipalay an assigned value based on the opportunity stage: 

For Example: 
Lead/Idea Generation = 02-Noticed
Needs Analysis = 04-Validated
Request for Plan/Proposal = 05-Qualified
Working likely = 05-Qualified
Verbal  = 05-Qualified
I/O In House - Order In = 06-Conditional
Contract Complete  = 07-Won/Implementing
Lead Disqualified  = Lost
Lost  = Lost

Here is the formula field i started:

IF(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"Lead/Idea Generation"), 02-Noticed),
  If(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"Needs Analysis"), 04-Validated),
     If(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"04-Validated"), 100, 0.1),
        If(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"Request for Plan/Proposal","Working likely","Verbal" ), 05-Qualified),
           If(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"I/O In House - Order In"), 06-Conditional),
              If(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"Contract Complete"), 07-Won/Implementing),
                 If(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"Lead Disqualified", "Lost"), Lost
)
)

You may use a code similar to this. It uses CASE() instead of nested IF() statements like you were trying. 
CASE(StageName, "Lead/Idea Generation", "02-Noticed",
                "Needs Analysis", "04-Validated",
                "Request for Plan/Proposal", "05-Qualified",
                "Working likely", "05-Qualified",
                "Verbal", "05-Qualified",
                "I/O In House - Order In", "06-Conditional",
                "Contract Complete", "07-Won/Implementing",
                "Lead Disqualified", "Lost"
                "Lost", "Lost",
                null)
With this format, you only reference the Stage once, making this an effecient formula. Because we must use quotes, the stagename must match perfectly with what is inside the quotes in order to work correctly. As a side note, CASE() is one of the relatively few functions you can use with picklist fields. Let me know if this helps or you have any questions.

Thanks,

Jonathan Pena,

i wrote formula on opportunity leadsource field.

which is
case(field, condition, result, condition, result, condition, result, else);

Jonathan,

I assume that data type for this formula field is Text so return value should be added in single quotes or double quotes. Also if you are checking stage with multiple picklist values seperate those if conditions like 

If(ISPICKVAL(StageName ,"Request for Plan/Proposal"), "05-Qualified"),

Example :

Commission Amounts
IF(ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Won"), ROUND(Amount *0.02, 2), 0)

Hope this helps
