    About this ebook

    The IF functions are some of the most powerful functions in Excel.

     

    A basic IF function lets you build a simple decision tree so that you have one outcome under one set of circumstances and another outcome if those circumstances aren't met. You can then nest IF functions to make a multi-level decision tree that covers as many different scenarios as you want. (Or close to it.)

     

    Then there are the COUNTIFS, SUMIFS, and AVERAGEIFS functions that let you count, sum, or average a list of values, but only when your specified conditions are met.

     

    Want to know how many customers you have in Nevada who bought widgets and spent over $50? You can do that.

     

    Want to know how much you sold to those customers? You can do that, too.

     

    And want to know what each one spent on average? Yep, that too.

     

    So what are you waiting for? Learn the power of the IF functions today.

     

    The Easy Excel Essentials series of titles are meant to cover one specific topic of interest to users who know the basics of how to navigate Excel but want to increase their knowledge in that one particular area. If you want to increase your Excel knowledge in a more general way, see the Excel Essentials series which consists of Excel for Beginners, Intermediate Excel, and 50 Useful Excel Functions. In that series, the IF functions are covered in 50 Useful Excel Functions.

    Hi there Sci Fi fans, my name is Maurice Humphrey.I am a Vermont native, husband, father, grandfather, well over 60, Navy veteran, retired IBM engineer, retired printer repairman, Graduated: Goddard Jr. College, VT Technical College, and Trinity College. Over the years I’ve written technical articles, taught technical classes, and presented at technical conventions.I’ve been reading science fiction for over 50 years now. First books were “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” by Jules Verne and “The Stars Are Ours” by Andre Norton. I’ve read and collected many great stories, and a considerable amount of junk ones as well. I’d say by now that I probably have a good idea of what I consider a good story.

      Introduction

      In Excel for Beginners I covered the basics of working in Excel, including how to format in Excel and how to print. In Intermediate Excel I covered a number of intermediate-level topics such as pivot tables, charts, and conditional formatting. And in 50 Useful Excel Functions I covered fifty of the most useful functions you can use in Excel.

      But I realize that some users will just want to know about a specific topic and not buy a guide that covers a variety of other topics that aren’t of interest to them.

      So this series of guides is meant to address that need. Each guide in the series covers one specific topic such as pivot tables, conditional formatting, or charts.

      I’m going to assume in these guides that you have a basic understanding of how to navigate Excel, although each guide does include an Appendix with a brief discussion of basic terminology to make sure that we’re on the same page.

      The guides are written using Excel 2013, which should be similar enough for most users of Excel to follow, but anyone using a version of Excel prior to Excel 2007 probably won’t be able to use them effectively.

      Also, keep in mind that the content in these guides is drawn from Excel for Beginners, Intermediate Excel, and/or 50 Useful Excel Functions, so if you think you’ll end up buying more than one or two of these guides you’re probably better off just buying Excel for Beginners, Intermediate Excel, and/or 50 Useful Excel Functions.

      With that said, let’s talk about the IF functions, starting with the most basic version, IF.

      The IF Function

      I love the IF function. I really do. That probably indicates
