Mastering Logical Functions: IF, AND, and OR

TLDRLearn how to use logical functions IF, AND, and OR in Excel. Logical functions allow you to evaluate conditions and make decisions based on those conditions. Use IF to perform a specific action based on a logical test, AND to combine multiple conditions, and OR to evaluate whether any of the conditions are met.

Key insights

🔍Logical functions in Excel are used to evaluate conditions and perform specific actions based on the results of those conditions.

🔀The IF function allows you to perform a specific action based on a logical test. If the test result is true, a specified value or action is returned; otherwise, another value or action is returned.

⚖️The AND function allows you to combine multiple conditions and evaluate whether all of those conditions are true. If all conditions are true, the result is true; otherwise, the result is false.

⛓️The OR function allows you to evaluate whether any of the specified conditions are true. If at least one condition is true, the result is true; otherwise, the result is false.

🔢Logical functions can be nested within each other to create more complex conditions and actions.
