IF Logical Test and Relational Operators

For this chapter, we're diving into the world of logical tests and relational operators in Excel, focusing on the incredibly versatile IF function.

Understanding the IF function and relational operators is essential for automating decision-making processes within your spreadsheets.

These tools allow you to set up conditions that Excel can evaluate, making your data more dynamic and responsive.

Key Points

Structure the IF function using =IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false);
Use relational operators like =, <>, >, <, >=, and <= to compare values;
Incorporate text conditions in the IF function by using quotation marks around text values.

Task

Select C22. Type =IF(G8>=H8, "Target Met", "Target Not Met"). Click and drag to C28.
Select C34. Type =IF(C22="Target Met", "20%", "0%"). Click and drag to C40.

Task

Select C22. Type =IF(G8>=H8, "Target Met", "Target Not Met"). Click and drag to C28.
Select C34. Type =IF(C22="Target Met", "20%", "0%"). Click and drag to C40.
