IF

Definition of IF

Returns one value if a logical expression is `TRUE` and another if it is `FALSE`.

Sample Usage

IF(A2 = "foo","A2 is foo")

IF(A2,"A2 was true","A2 was false")

IF(TRUE,4,5)

Syntax

IF(logical_expression, value_if_true, value_if_false)

  • logical_expression - An expression or reference to a cell containing an expression that represents some logical value, i.e. TRUE or FALSE.

  • value_if_true - The value the function returns if logical_expression is TRUE.

  • value_if_false - [ OPTIONAL - blank by default ] - The value the function returns if logical_expression is FALSE.

Notes

  • Ensure that value_if_true and value_if_false are provided to the function in the correct order - this is the single most common source of problems with IF.
