How does this operate?

RE: IF

Hi Usman,

I hope you enjoyed your Excel training. Thank you for your question.

The IF function allows Excel to display different answers dependant on certain criteria being met or not met (for example to show whether a student has passed or failed an exam).

To create the formula, you click in the cell where you want the answer to appear and use the Insert Function button (fx) to choose the If function.

In the If function dialogue box you have 3 separate areas


 

Excel tip:

Random Numbers

Type =RAND()*200 to generate a number between 1 and 200.
Use the fill handle to drag down and populate as many cells as you'd like with random numbers.
