Perform logical operations by using the IF function

01/01/2022 1 By indiafreenotes

The IF function is one of the most popular functions in Excel, and it allows you to make logical comparisons between a value and what you expect.

So an IF statement can have two results. The first result is if your comparison is True, the second if your comparison is False.

For example, =IF(C2=” Yes”,1,2) says IF(C2 = Yes, then return a 1, otherwise return a 2).

Common problems

Problem What went wrong
0 (zero) in cell There was no argument for either value_if_true or value_if_False arguments. To see the right value returned, add argument text to the two arguments, or add TRUE or FALSE to the argument.
#NAME? in cell This usually means that the formula is misspelled.
