Multiple IF functions can be nested together to allow for multiple criteria. The Excel IF function statement allows you to make a logical comparison between a value and what you expect by testing for a condition and returning a result if True or False.

How to use the IF function (combined with the AND, OR, and NOT functions) in Excel to make logical comparisons between given values.

Use the IF function, one of the logical functions, to return one value if a condition is true and another value if it's false. IF(logical_test, value_if_true, [value_if_false]) For example: =IF(A2>B2,"Over Budget","OK") =IF(A2=B2,B4-A4,"")

Nest (include) other functions inside the IF function in a formula to mimic an If Then statement. You can nest up to 64 functions in another function.

Nesting Excel functions. In certain cases, you may need to use a function as one of the arguments of another function. For example, the following formula uses a nested AVERAGE function and compares the result with the value 50. 1. The AVERAGE and SUM functions are nested within the IF function.

The OR function requires a set of arguments (pieces of data) that it can test to see if they're true or false. In this formula, the first argument is the AND function and the DATE function nested inside it, the second is "Nancy."

The IFS function checks whether one or more conditions are met, and returns a value that corresponds to the first TRUE condition. IFS can take the place of multiple nested IF statements, and is much easier to read with multiple conditions.

Use a LAMBDA function to create custom, reusable functions and call them by a friendly name. The new function is available throughout the workbook and called like native Excel functions.

In Access, if you need to calculate or display a value based on a condition, use the IIf function. The IIf (Immediate If) function is similar to the If function in Excel.
