IF
Excel’s IF function can often prove to be very useful. You can use this function to
branch to different values or actions depending on a specified condition. The structure
of an IF function is:
=IF (logical_test, value_if_true,
value_if_false)
• logical_test: a value or logical expression that can be evaluated as TRUE or FALSE.
• value_if_true: the value to return when logical_test evaluates to TRUE.
• value_if_false: the value to return when logical_test evaluates to FALSE.
In this example, if the age is greater then 18, then the IF statement displays “Adult“ else
it displays “Underage.“
IF and AND together
AND function can be used in a nested form with IF function, it just needs to put in the
formula like an equation in another equation. The syntax of IF and AND statements is:
=IF(AND(Something is True, Something
else is True), Value if True, Value if False)
