Excel Formulas II

3-D Formulas

• 3-D Formulas are used to reference data on another spreadsheet in the same workbook

• Syntax:• =[name of sheet]![cells to reference]

• Reference: Office 3D Formula

Create 3-D Formula (step 1)

• Click on worksheet tab where you want 3-D formula

• Select cell

• Type =

Create 3-D Formula (step 2)

• Click worksheet tab for first reference

• Select desired cell

• Enter arithmetic operator

Create 3-D Formula (step 3)

• Click worksheet tab for second reference

• Select desired cell

• Press the Enter key

Create 3-D Formula (step 4)

• You should have a 3-D reference on the worksheet you started with

Excel Logical Functions

True True False

False False False

Know these Symbols!

IF function

• Excel IF function has three arguments:

• A condition

• What to do if condition is met

• What to do if condition is notmet

• Reference: Office IF Function

= 𝐼𝐹(8 < 10 , "Yes" , "No")condition What to

show if TRUE

What to show if FALSE

Create IF Function (step 1)

• Click in cell where IF statement goes

• Formulas ribbon

• In the Function Library group:• click Logical▼

• IF

Create IF Function (step 2)

• In Function Arguments dialog box:• Logical_test

• Use logical operator

=, <, <=, >, >=, <>

• Value_if_true• What to do if logical condition

is True

• Value_if_false• What to do if logical condition

is False

• Click OK

Create IF Function (step 3)

• The IF will have two results:

• For TRUE

• Logical condition was valid

• For FALSE

• Logical condition was invalid

AND Function

• AND function requires all logic statements to be TRUE to return TRUE

• If one statement is FALSE, then the result is FALSE

• If both statements are FALSE, then the result is FALSE

Creating AND Function (step 1)

• Select cell

• Formulas ribbon

• In the Function Library group:• click Logical▼

• AND

Creating AND Function (step 2)

• In Function Arguments dialog box:• Logical1

• Enter the first logical condition

• Logical2• Enter second logical condition

• Logical3• Not needed

• Click OK

Creating AND Function (step 3)

• If both numbers are smaller than 10• TRUE

• If the number in column A is bigger than 10 but the number in column B is smaller than 10• FALSE

• If the number in column B is bigger than 10 but the number in column A is smaller than 10• FALSE

• If both numbers are bigger than 10• FALSE

OR Function

• OR is like the opposite of AND

• As long as one logic statement is TRUE, the result is TRUE

• Select cell

• Formulas ribbon

• In the Function Library group:• click Logical▼

• OR

Creating OR Function (step 2)

• In Function Arguments dialog box:• Logical1

• Enter the first logical condition

• Logical2• Enter second logical condition

• Logical3• Not needed

• Click OK

Creating OR Function (step 3)

• If both numbers are smaller than 10• TRUE

• If the number in column A is bigger than 10 but the number in column B is smaller than 10• TRUE

• If the number in column B is bigger than 10 but the number in column A is smaller than 10• TRUE

• If both numbers are bigger than 10• FALSE

Nested IF function

• Nested means putting an IF function in another IF function

• Nested IF functions are used to make three or more comparisons

• Reference: Office Nested IF

Creating Nested IF Function (step 1)

• Select cell

• Formulas Ribbon

• In the Function Library group:• click Logical▼

• IF

Creating Nested IF Function (step 2)

• In the Function Arguments dialog box:• Logical_test

• Type in one logical test

• Value_if_true• You may type additional IF

function here (see slide 8)

• Value_if_false• You may type additional IF

function here (see slide 8)

Creating Nested IF Function (step 3)

• In the example to the right:• If both numbers in columns A and B

are less than 10• it prints “Both values less than ten”

• If the number in column A is bigger than 10• It print “First value bigger than ten”

• If the number in column B is bigger than 10• It prints “Second value bigger than ten”
