TLDRLearn how to use if statements with multiple conditions, functions, and scenarios in this comprehensive video tutorial. Discover how to calculate profit based on cost of goods sold and sales, handle different statuses, and use logical tests effectively.

Key insights

💡You can use the AND function to chain multiple logical tests and get a result based on all conditions being true.

🔑The OR function allows you to check if at least one of the conditions is true and perform a specific action.

Using timestamped summaries, you can easily locate and review key segments of the video.

The IF function can handle multiple conditions and provide different results based on the conditions being true or false.

💡By combining logical tests and array calculations, you can efficiently handle complex scenarios in your spreadsheets.

Q&A

Can I use the IF function with multiple conditions in Excel and Google Sheets?

Yes, the IF function can handle multiple conditions in both Excel and Google Sheets. Simply use the AND or OR function to combine your logical tests.

How do I calculate profit based on cost of goods sold and sales?

You can subtract the cost of goods sold from the sales using a simple formula: Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold.

How can I handle different statuses in my calculations?

You can use logical tests to check the status and perform specific calculations based on the status. Use IF or IFs functions to handle multiple conditions.

What is the purpose of timestamped summaries?

Timestamped summaries allow you to easily locate and review specific segments of the video without watching the entire video again.

Can I combine logical tests and array calculations in one formula?

Yes, you can combine logical tests and array calculations to efficiently handle complex scenarios in your spreadsheets. Use multiplication or addition to evaluate the logical tests.
