GRADE 9 – BROWN DOVE
The IF function
• The IF function works by analyzing the data and testing it on whether it will be true based on the specific conditions set. Depending on the outcome, the function will display specific results on selected cells.
Comparison Operators in Excel
These are the different comparisons that can be used in the logical test part of the IF function. SYMBOL MEANING
< Less than> Greater Than<= Less than or Equal to>= Greater than or Equal to<> Not Equal to
The IF function syntax
=IF(logical_test, value_if_true,value_if_false)
The NESTED IF function
• The Nested IF function is used when there is more than one condition with two or more possible outcomes. The syntax is almost the same with the IF function except for “nesting” a secondary formula under the main formula.
The NESTED IF function syntax
=IF(1st logical test, 1st value true, IF (2nd logial test, 2nd value true, value false))
Note: Microsoft Excel 2010 allows the user to nest up to 64 functions.
The STATISTICAL IF function
• Statistical IF statements can be used to display text or do calculations in a cell only if it’s in the maximum or minimum range.
• In using Statistical If statements, there are two types of cell referencing. The first is a reference to a person’s figure and is relative. The second represents the range of everyone’s figures and is therefore absolute.
The STATISTICAL IF function syntax
=IF(B2=MAX($B$2:$B$4),”Top”,””)=IF(B2=MIN($B$2:$B$4),”Top”,””)
