Nested IF function

Don't know quite how they work and also about further logical function

RE: nested IF function

Hi William,

Thank you for your question.

A Nested If is used if you want to test a cell against multiple conditions.

An IF function only allows you to test a cell using one condition.

Here is an example:

=if(c5>100,50,if(c5>30,20,10))

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Conditional formatting for cells that return text , not picked up by Go to command

If you have tried to format all cells containing text even those that display text as a result of a formula you may have had difficulty. As Go to command with constant selected does not pick up formulas that result in text.

Then try this. Select the range the formula cells appear in on your sheet. Format, select Conditional Formatting menu. In the dialog box under Condition 1, select "Formula Is" from drop down. Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK. To go ahead and apply the conditional formatting click OK to accept
