How do i use the IF function

RE: Excel

The IF function is based on a true or false scenerio, an example would be

=IF(A1>100, "Above target", "Under target")

dependent on whether the first condition (A1>100) is true the function will reveal the word Above target, and if is not true it will reveal the word Under target.

You have to put speech marks in if you want to reveal text, however if you want to put numbers you can leave the speech marks out.

For example

=IF(A1<1000, 20, 10)

So this would be interpreted as if the contents of A1 were less than 1000 it will give the number 20(i.e if the condition A1<1000 were true), if not it will give the answer 10.

Hope that helps, if there is anything specific you need to know get back to me

Thanks

Tracy

Excel tip:

LARGE and SMALL functions and their uses

Two of Excel's most common functions are the MAX and MIN functions which will display the largest (MAX) or smallest (MIN) value in a series. What if you need the 2nd or 3rd largest or smallest values instead of the largest or smallest?

The =LARGE(array,n) returns the nth largest value of a series.

The =SMALL(array,n) function returns the nth smallest value of a series.

In both functions, 'n' represents the order of the number you want to display. For example, putting in 2 as n will give you the second highest number; putting in 3 as n will give you the third highest number.
