How to Use Excel’s IF and IFS Functions to Create Logical Formulas

Excel’s IF and IFS functions allow you to apply logic and conditions to your data. They’re essential for creating decisions, classifications, or results based on rules.

🔹 IF Function

=IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false)

Example: =IF(A2>40, "Pass", "Fail")

🔹 IFS Function (Multiple Conditions)

=IFS(condition1, value1, condition2, value2, ...)

Example: =IFS(A2>=90, "A", A2>=75, "B", A2>=60, "C", A2<60, "Fail")

📌 Common Use Cases

• Grading students based on score ranges
• Highlighting sales performance
• Decision support dashboards

🔁 Combine with AND(), OR(), or NOT() to build more complex formulas.
