1. The IF function is a logical function used for making decisions based on some
condition(s)

Conditions have to result in Boolean values. (relational expressions, true/false)

Lends more flexibility since the results can be something else besides a simple True -
False value

If your total points are less than 600 then display “Fail” in the cell otherwise display
“Pass”

A statement that checks the content of a cell against a given expression. If the

that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE<condition>

• Second argument: the value that is returned if

logical_test is TRUE (then)

test, we can use the following relational
operators:
1. = (equal to)
2. > (greater than)
3. >= (greater than or equal to)
4. < (less than)
5. <= (less than or equal to)
6. <> (not equal to) 6

anyone gave at least $50, they'll receive a free tote bag. So if a person donated at least
$50, we need to write the words Free Gift in that donor's row.

We insert a new column and give title Free Gift. We enter the IF function as
