Formula's

When you are inputing data into the spreadsheet and you want to get the totals, what is the logical reason for using the and button?

RE: Formula's

Dear Lucy

Thank you for attending the Excel 2007 Adv course. I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly.

Do you want to know the reason why we use AND function or is there a Button on the Ribbon you are reffering to?

If you want to know why you need to use the AND function then the reason is simple.

Normally in simple IF statements you can use one cell that you can put the logical condition on. But with AND you can use various conditions for various cells and in order to get a TRUE result it has to meet all the conditions.

OR function is very similar but the only difference is that in order to get the TRUE statment it can meet any on the conditions that you input.

To make your AND and OR functions more powerful and specific to your need you should try to combine them with IF function just like we did in the training course.

I hope this helps in answering your query.

Please mark the post as resolved if it has.

Many thanks

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Use Paint Brush to Format More than one Cell

To copy a format to many cells or ranges

1. Select the cell with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush

When you move to the cell where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the cells or ranges you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the tool bar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
