Excel 2016 from Scratch Exercise

The Logical IF Function

An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom

Excel 2016 iconThe Excel IF function is a formula that checks whether a condition is met or not. It returns one value if the condition is met, TRUE, and another value if it is not met, FALSE.

In this exercise in the Excel 2016 from Scratch series, Peter Kalmstrom explains how the Excel IF function works and how IF formulas are created. He shows some simple examples and then gives the solution to the exercise.

  • How to test IF-statements.
  • How to use the Function Guide to create an IF-statement formula.
