Ex. =if(A1>100,”Greater than 100”,”Less than 100”)

THREE ARGUMENTS OF IF STATEMENT

1. Logical_test – is any value or expression that can be
evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.
2. Value_if_true – is the value or expression that can be
evaluated to true or false
3.Value_if_false – is the value that is returned if
logical_test is false.
NESTED IFS () FUNCTION
