How to Use If Function Excel?

Use the IF function to test a condition and return one value if TRUE and another if FALSE

Syntax: `=IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)`

Example: `=IF(A1>10,”Yes”,”No”)`

Enter the formula in a cell and press Enter

Replace `logical_test` with the condition you want to check

Replace `value_if_true` with the result if the condition is met

Replace `value_if_false` with the result if the condition is not met

Use cell references, numbers, text, or formulas as arguments

Nest IF functions to test multiple conditions

Example of nested IF: `=IF(A1>90,”A”,IF(A1>80,”B”,”C”))`

Combine IF with AND or OR for multiple criteria

Example with AND: `=IF(AND(A1>10,B1<5),"Pass","Fail")`

Example with OR: `=IF(OR(A1>10,B1<5),"Pass","Fail")`

Use IF with blank results by putting `””` as the return value

Example: `=IF(A1=””,””,A1*2)`

Copy the IF formula down or across to apply it to other cells

Use IFERROR with IF when needed to handle errors

Example: `=IFERROR(IF(A1>10,”Yes”,”No”),”Error”)`
