The next function we will discuss is IF. The IF function will
check the logical condition of a statement and return one value if true
and a different value if false. The syntax is
- =IF (condition, value-if-true, value-if-false)
- value returned may be either a number or text
- if value returned is text, it must be in quotes
| Lets use the table here for the discussion that
follows. We will look at several different specific examples that show
how the IF functions can be used! |
