IF functionReturns one value if a logical expression is `TRUE` and another if it is `FALSE`.
Sample Usage
IF(A2 = “foo”,”A2 is foo”)
IF(A2,”A2 was true”,”A2 was false”)
IF(TRUE,4,5)
Syntax
IF(logical_expression, value_if_true, value_if_false)
logical_expression – An expression or reference to a cell containing an expression that represents some logical value, i.e. TRUE or FALSE.
value_if_true – The value the function returns if logical_expression is TRUE.
value_if_false – [ OPTIONAL – blank by default ] – The value the function returns if logical_expression is FALSE.
Notes
Ensure that value_if_true and value_if_false are provided to the function in the correct order – this is the single most common source of problems with IF.
