IF function

How can you put a two boundary condition in a nested if function, i.e. how can someone put a < and > sign for the first check, insteda of just < or >? For example, somebody may want to iognore all values that are greater than 100 and say that the first check in the nested if function must be if Cell X is between value Y and Z then for that, if (...) do that and so on and so forth.

RE: IF function

Hello Dimitrios

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

I think you would need to use an AND function as part of the logical test argument (first part) of the function. For example, if I wanted Excel to check if the value in cell X is greater than Y but also less than Z:

=if(and(X>Y),(X<Z),....

so the value in cell X would need to meet both conditions (be greater than value Y but also less than value Z) in order for Excel to then enter the 'value if true' (second part) of the function into the cell for you.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Quick Absolute Cell References

When entering cell references in a formula you probably click the cell, or you may type in the cell reference. If you require any of the 4 variations, press the F4 key now before you press Enter to toggle around the relative and absolute entries ($signs).

Note that the F4 key outside of editing a formula is the Repeat key to repeat a previous action.
