And operator with if in excel

Purpose 

Return value 

Usage notes 

=AND(A1>0,A1>10,A1<100) // returns TRUE
=AND(A1>0,A1>10,A1<30) // returns FALSE

=AND(A1>0,A1<5)

=IF(AND(A1>0,A1<5), "Approved", "Denied")

=AND(A1>100,OR(B1="complete",B1="pending"))

Excel IF AND OR functions on their own aren’t very exciting, but mix them up with the IF Statement and you’ve got yourself a formula that’s much more powerful.

In this tutorial we’re going to take a look at the basics of the AND and OR functions and then put them to work with an IF Statement.  If you aren’t familiar with IF Statements, click here to read that tutorial first.

AND Function

The AND function belongs to the logic family of formulas, along with IF, OR and a few others.  It’s useful when you have multiple conditions that must be met.

In Excel language on its own the AND formula reads like this:

=AND(logical1,[logical2]....)

Now to translate into English:

=AND(is condition 1 true, AND condition 2 true (add more conditions if you want)

OR Function

The OR function is useful when you are happy if one, OR another condition is met.

In Excel language on its own the OR formula reads like this:

=OR(logical1,[logical2]....)

Now to translate into English:

=OR(is condition 1 true, OR condition 2 true (add more conditions if you want)

See, I did say they weren’t very exciting, but let’s mix them up with IF and put AND and OR to work.

IF AND Formula

First let’s set the scene of our challenge for the IF, AND formula:

In our spreadsheet below we want to calculate a bonus to pay the children’s TV personalities listed.  The rules, as devised by my 4 year old son, are:

1)      If the TV personality is Popular AND

2)      If they earn less than $100k per year they get a 10% bonus (my 4 year old will write them an IOU, he’s good for it though).

In cell D2 we will enter our IF AND formula as follows:

In English first

=IF(Spider Man is Popular, AND he earns <$100k),  calculate his salary x 10%, if not put "Nil" in the cell)

Now in Excel’s language:

=IF(AND(B2="Yes",C2<100),C2x$H$1,"Nil")

You’ll notice that the two conditions are typed in first, and then the outcomes are entered.  You can have more than two conditions; in fact you can have up to 30 by simply separating each condition with a comma (see warning below about going overboard with this though).

IF OR Formula

Again let’s set the scene of our challenge for the IF, OR formula:

The revised rules, as devised by my 4 year old son, are:

1)      If the TV personality is Popular OR

2)      If they earn less than $100k per year they get a 10% bonus.

In cell D2 we will enter our IF OR formula as follows:

In English first

=IF(Spider Man is Popular, OR he earns <$100k), calculate his salary x 10%, if not put “Nil” in the cell)

Now in Excel’s language:

=IF(OR(B2="Yes",C2<100),C2x$H$1,"Nil")

Notice how a subtle change from the AND function to the OR function has a significant impact on the bonus figure.

Just like the AND function, you can have up to 30 OR conditions nested in the one formula, again just separate each condition with a comma.

Try other operators

You can set your conditions to test for specific text, as I have done in this example with B2=»Yes», just put the text you want to check between inverted comas “   ”.

Alternatively you can test for a number and because the AND and OR functions belong to the logic family, you can employ different tests other than the less than (<) operator used in the examples above.

Other operators you could use are:

• =             Equal to
• >             Greater Than
• <=           Less than or equal to
• >=           Greater than or equal to
• <>           Less than or greater than

Warning: Don’t go overboard with nesting IF, AND, and OR’s, as it will be painful to decipher if you or someone else ever needs to update the formula in months or years to come.

Note: These formulas work in all versions of Excel, however versions pre Excel 2007 are limited to 7 nested IF’s.

To write an IF, AND, OR array formula in Excel 365, we must use the arithmetic operators * (multiplication) and + (addition). Why it’s so?

If we take the logical AND, OR with the IF in Excel 365 to spill the result, we won’t get our expected result.

I mean, such a formula won’t support a range/array in evaluation. Even if it supports, it won’t return an array result.

So we will replace the AND logical operator with the * (multiplication) and OR with the + (addition) arithmetic operators.

Coding the formula with the said two operators is very simple and easily readable.

I think I can convince you the same with the examples below.

Example to IF, AND, OR in Excel 365 (Non-Array Formula)

Imagine a user played a game three times, and we have recorded his scores out of 100 in cells A2, B2, and C2.

We want to perform the following three logical tests on the scores individually.

1. If all scores are >=80, return OK.
2. If any of the two scores are >=80, return OK.
3. Finally, if any of the scores is >=80, return OK.

Logical Tests Using IF, AND, OR Functions

In Excel, we can perform the above three logical tests as follows.

1. E2 (If all scores are >=80, return OK)

=IF(AND(A2>=80,B2>=80,C2>=80),"OK","NOT OK")

I have used the AND function with IF in the above Excel formula to test if all the three logical tests return TRUE.

2. F2 (If any of the two scores are >=80, return OK)

We must use the following logic (two parts) to test if any two logical tests return TRUE.

AND Part:-

a) Value 1>=80 and value 2>=80.

b) Value 1>=80 and value 3>=80.

c) Value 2>=80 and value 3>=80.

OR Part:-

a) The OR evaluates to TRUE if any two of the above three AND tests return TRUE.

So the formula will be as follows.

=IF(OR(AND(A2>=80,B2>=80),AND(A2>=80,C2>=80),AND(B2>=80,C2>=80)),"OK","NOT OK")

It is an example of the IF, AND, OR logical test in Excel.

3. G2 (if any of the scores is >=80, return OK)

=IF(OR(A2>=80,B2>=80,C2>=80),"OK","NOT OK")

Here I have used the OR function with IF to test if any of the three logical tests return TRUE.

As I have already mentioned, we can’t write an IF, AND, OR array formula as above in Excel 365.

Logical Tests Using IF, *, + Formula

Let’s substitute the above three formulas by replacing AND, OR with multiplication and addition.

But that’s not enough. Then?

The below formulas are self-explanatory.

1. E2 Formula

=IF((A2:A8>=80)*(B2:B8>=80)*(C2:C8>=80),"OK","NOT OK")

How the multiplication replaces the logical function OR above?

Each test in the formula returns either TRUE or FALSE. If all the criteria are met, it will be =IF((TRUE*TRUE*TRUE),"OK","NOT OK").

We can even replace the multiplication operator here with addition.

=IF((A2:A8>=80)+(B2:B8>=80)+(C2:C8>=80)>2,"OK","NOT OK")

Please remember that the value of TRUE is 1, and FALSE is 0.

2. F2 Formula

=IF((A2:A8>=80)+(B2:B8>=80)+(C2:C8>=80)>1,"OK","NOT OK")

3. G2 Formula

=IF((A2:A8>=80)+(B2:B8>=80)+(C2:C8>=80)>0,"OK","NOT OK")

Above I have tried to simplify the use of the logical operators within the IF function.

Now let’s open an Excel Spreadsheet and enter the scores of multiple players in the range A2:C8 as below.

So the values to evaluate are in cell range A2:C8.

I have inserted the following three IF, AND, OR array formulas in cells E2, F2, and G2, respectively.

1. E2 Array Formula

=IF((A2:A8>=80)*(B2:B8>=80)*(C2:C8>=80),"OK","NOT OK")

2. F2 Array Formula

=IF((A2:A8>=80)+(B2:B8>=80)+(C2:C8>=80)>1,"OK","NOT OK")

3. G2 Array Formula

=IF((A2:A8>=80)+(B2:B8>=80)+(C2:C8>=80)>0,"OK","NOT OK")

If any of the above formulas return #SPILL!, please empty the cells down in that column.

Nested IF, AND, OR Combination in Excel 365

I want to assign grades based on the scores above.

In that case, we may require to write a nested IF, AND, OR combination array formula in Excel 365.

Here is how.

In the above example, we have used three formulas for the below three logical tests.

• If all scores are >=80, return OK.
• If any of the two scores are >=80, return OK.
• Finally, if any of the scores is >=80, return OK.

There each test returns OK or NOT OK.

Instead of that, here, I want the tests to return GR-1, GR-2, and GR-3.

• If all scores are >=80, return GR-1.
• If any of the two scores are >=80, return GR-2.
• Finally, if any of the scores is >=80, return GR-3.

For that, we should combine the above three IF, AND, OR Array Formulas.

How?

In the E2 formula, replace “OK” with “GR-1” and “NOT OK” with the F2 formula.

In that combined (E2 and F2) formula, replace “OK” with “GR-2” and “NOT OK” with the G2 formula.

Then, in the combined E2, F2, and G2 formula, replace “OK” with “GR-3” and replace “NOT OK” with “F.”

Here it is.

=IF(
     (A2:A8>=80)*(B2:B8>=80)*(C2:C8>=80),"GR-1",
     IF(
        (A2:A8>=80)+(B2:B8>=80)+(C2:C8>=80)>1,"GR-2",
        IF(
           (A2:A8>=80)+(B2:B8>=80)+(C2:C8>=80)>0,"GR-3","F"
        )
     )
)

We can call it a nested IF, AND, OR combination array formula.

The logical IF statement in Excel is used for the recording of certain conditions. It compares the number and / or text, function, etc. of the formula when the values correspond to the set parameters, and then there is one record, when do not respond — another.

Logic functions — it is a very simple and effective tool that is often used in practice. Let us consider it in details by examples.



The syntax of the function «IF» with one condition

The operation syntax in Excel is the structure of the functions necessary for its operation data.

=IF(boolean;value_if_TRUE;value_if_FALSE)

Let us consider the function syntax:

• Boolean – what the operator checks (text or numeric data cell).
• Value_if_TRUE – what will appear in the cell when the text or numbers correspond to a predetermined condition (true).
• Value_if_FALSE – what appears in the box when the text or the number does not meet the predetermined condition (false).

Example:

Logical IF functions.

The operator checks the A1 cell and compares it to 20. This is a «Boolean». When the contents of the column is more than 20, there is a true legend «greater 20». In the other case it’s «less or equal 20».

Attention! The words in the formula need to be quoted. For Excel to understand that you want to display text values.

Here is one more example. To gain admission to the exam, a group of students must successfully pass a test. The results are listed in a table with columns: a list of students, a credit, an exam.

The statement IF should check not the digital data type but the text. Therefore, we prescribed in the formula В2= «done» We take the quotes for the program to recognize the text correctly.



The function IF in Excel with multiple conditions

Usually one condition for the logic function is not enough. If you need to consider several options for decision-making, spread operators’ IF into each other. Thus, we get several functions IF in Excel.

The syntax is as follows:

Here the operator checks the two parameters. If the first condition is true, the formula returns the first argument is the truth. False — the operator checks the second condition.

Examples of a few conditions of the function IF in Excel:

It’s a table for the analysis of the progress. The student received 5 points:

• А – excellent;
• В – above average or superior work;
• C – satisfactory;
• D – a passing grade;
• E – completely unsatisfactory.

IF statement checks two conditions: the equality of value in the cells.

In this example, we have added a third condition, which implies the presence of another report card and «twos». The principle of the operator is the same.

Enhanced functionality with the help of the operators «AND» and «OR»

When you need to check out a few of the true conditions you use the function И. The point is: IF A = 1 AND A = 2 THEN meaning в ELSE meaning с.

OR function checks the condition 1 or condition 2. As soon as at least one condition is true, the result is true. The point is: IF A = 1 OR A = 2 THEN value B ELSE value C.

Functions AND & OR can check up to 30 conditions.

An example of using the operator AND:

It’s the example of using the logical operator OR.

How to compare data in two tables

Users often need to compare the two spreadsheets in an Excel to match. Examples of the «life»: compare the prices of goods in different bringing, to compare balances (accounting reports) in a few months, the progress of pupils (students) of different classes, in different quarters, etc.

To compare the two tables in Excel, you can use the COUNTIFS statement. Consider the order of application functions.

For example, consider the two tables with the specifications of various food processors. We planned allocation of color differences. This problem in Excel solves the conditional formatting.

Baseline data (tables, which will work with):

Select the first table. Conditional Formatting — create a rule — use a formula to determine the formatted cells:

In the formula bar write: = COUNTIFS (comparable range; first cell of first table)=0. Comparing range is in the second table.

To drive the formula into the range, just select it first cell and the last. «= 0» means the search for the exact command (not approximate) values.

Choose the format and establish what changes in the cell formula in compliance. It’s better to do a color fill.

Select the second table. Conditional Formatting — create a rule — use the formula. Use the same operator (COUNTIFS). For the second table formula:

Now it is easy to compare the characteristics of the data in the table.

Эта функция проверяет, правильно ли заданное в аргументах утверждение, если да то выполняет указанное действие. Например, можно просто вывести ИСТИНА или ЛОЖЬ.

Результат функции

Результатом функции будет указанное вами значение, указать это самое значение можно для двух исходов(истина или ложь)

Формула

=ЕСЛИ(проверяемый_аргумент; значение_если_истина; значение_если_ложь)

Аргументы функции

• проверяемый аргумент — аргумент, который, в результате выполнения функции, будет проверен. Результатом будет ИСТИНА либо ЛОЖЬ;

• значение_если_истина — значение, которое вернет функция ЕСЛИ в случае, если проверяемый аргумент оказался истиной.

• значение_если_ложь — значение, которое вернет функция ЕСЛИ в случае, если проверяемый аргумент оказался ложью.

Важная информация

• Максимум проверяемых аргументов может быть 64;

• В случае, когда вы используете функцию для проверки каких-либо условий относительно массива, будет проверено каждое значение этого самого массива;

• Если вместо аргумента вы оставите пустое место, результатом выполнения функции будет 0, то есть.

На картинке ниже, мы оставили пустое место для значения, которое будет результатом, если проверяемый аргумент оказался ложью:

Тоже самое, но для аргумента «Истины»:

Примеры

Итак, давайте рассмотрим различные ситуации.

Проверяем соответствует ли число заданным критериям с помощью функции ЕСЛИ в Excel

В проверяемом аргументе функции, при работе с обычными числами, вы указываете оператор(или операторы) чтобы проверить, соответствует ли число каким-либо критериям. Вот список этих операторов:

Сразу же рассмотрим такую ситуацию:

Если число в столбце A больше либо равно 35, то результатом выполнения функции будет «Сдал», если же нет, то «Не сдал».

Проверяем сразу несколько критериев

Итак, давайте рассмотрим ситуацию, когда вам нужно проверить, соответствует ли число сразу нескольким критериям. Мы помним, что максимальное число проверяемых аргументов — 64. Давайте попробуем проверить хотя бы 2 критерия.

В приведенном ниже примере мы проверяем два условия.

• Меньше ли значение в ячейке чем число 35;

• В случае, когда в результате первой проверки возвращается ЛОЖЬ, проверяется больше или равно значение в ячейке чем число 75.

Вычисляем комиссию

Итак, с помощью этой функции мы можем даже посчитать комиссию, которую забирает себе конкретный продавец.

В ситуации описанной ниже, продавец не получает комиссию, если у него меньше 50-ти продаж. Если первое проверочное условие он прошел, тогда проверяем второе. Если у продавца меньше 100 продаж, его комиссия будет продажи*2%, а если больше, то — продажи*4%

Пример 4: Использование логических операторов (AND/OR) в функции IF в Excel

Также, мы можем использовать функции И и ИЛИ для проверки по сразу нескольким критериям.

Допустим, как указано на картинке ниже, мы имеем такую табличку:

Наша задача — рассчитать у кого из студентов будет стипендия. Данные для выдачи стипендии будут сразу же в формуле:

=ЕСЛИ(И(B2>80;C2>80%); "Да"; "Нет")

Как убрать ошибки при использовании функции ЕСЛИ в Excel

Теперь давайте разберемся как мы можем фильтровать ошибки при использовании функции.

Формула:

=ЕСЛИ(ЕСЛИОШИБКА(A1);0;A1)

Теперь, если в результате выполнения функции мы получим ошибку, она будет отфильтрована и превращена в 0. А если ошибки не произойдет — мы просто получим значение.

Точно также можно использовать функцию ЕПУСТО:

=ЕСЛИ(ЕПУСТО(A1);0;A1)
