To perform this task, you’re free to use theIF functionin combination with theAND functionand theOR function. AND function TheAND functionreturns TRUE ifallconditions are TRUE. OR function TheOR functionreturns TRUE ifanycondition is TRUE. For that reason, the text values in the logical test are left in lowercase. In any other case, the formula will return FALSE. The formula evaluates the side function first, working outwards. The OR function returns a result to AND, and the AND function returns the final result....

There are two special functions, AND and OR, that make this easy to do. Let’s take a look. In this first worksheet, we have a list of employees. Let’s assume that you oughta group these employees into two groups. Start off normally with IF and an open parentheses. If any test returns TRUE, the OR function will return TRUE. Then I end the parentheses for OR. When I copy the formula down, we’ll see the groups we need....

This technique can be used to reduce the complexity of certain formulas. However, the example is for illustration only. This particular problem could be easily solved withSUMIFSorSUMPRODUCT. Other quantities become FALSE and are evaluated by SUM as zero. Boolean logic approach Another way to solve this problem is withBoolean logic. In the worksheet shown, we have this formula: Notice this formula contains just one IF function. More than one condition can be tested by nesting IF functions....

Explanation The goal is to demonstrate how other formulas and functions can benestedinside theIF function. The example is a simple quantity-based discount formula. The example below shows how this works. Otherwise, we want to calculate the total normally. Otherwise, it just calculates the total price without any discount. you could then copy the formula down column E to apply it to all items in the spreadsheet. Other calculations The calculations used inside the IF function can be customized as needed....

The IF function doesn’t support wildcards directly, so we can’t use IF by itself. Instead, we can combine the IF function with the COUNTIF function, which does support wildcards. “, with the question mark (?) representing any single character. Because the range provided to COUNTIF is just one cell, the result will always be 1 or zero. Inside the IF function, Excel will evaluate any non-zero number as TRUE and zero as FALSE....

This makes IFERROR an elegant way to trap and manage errors in one step. you’re able to use the IFERROR function to trap and handleerrorsproduced by other formulas or functions. Example 1 - Trap #DIV/0! error that comes up whenever the quantity field is empty or zero, and replaces it with zero. You are free to change the zero (0) to suit your needs. error and return an empty string, which looks like an blank cell....

This is useful because it means the IFNA function won’t accidentally hide another more serious error. We can catch this error and return an alternative result with the IFNA function. To use the IFNA function to trap #N/A errors, embed the original formula inside IFNA as thefirstargument. However, in cell I8, we now see a blank cell. Inside IFNA, VLOOKUP returns #N/A as before. However, unlike IFNA, IFERROR will catch any error....

Formulas based on IFS are shorter and easier to read and write. Conditions are provided to the IFS function as test/value pairs, and IFS can handle up to 127 conditions. For this reason, it is important to consider the order in which conditions appear. For better readability, you canadd line breaksto an IFS formula as shown above. Note: the IFS function does not provide an argument for a default value....

All of them refer to the same thing. The IMABS function always returns a positive number. For example, consider the complex number “-12-5i” which points in a different direction. The absolute value of this complex number is positive 13. In general, the absolute value of a complex number “z=x+yi” is given by the formula below. Notes Images courtesy ofwumbo.net. IMARGUMENT Function The Excel IMARGUMENT function returns the angle of a complex number expressed in radians....

The images must be available online and reachable with the “https://” protocol. Download the worksheet (link at top) to follow along. See below for examples. Example - Source path only IMAGE returns an image directly to a cell. Essentially, the first edge to touch a cell boundary limits how far the image will expand. Vertical alignment is set to “Middle”, and Horizontal alignment is set to “Center”. We have also set the row height to 30 (40 pixels)....

For example, the complex number “2-5i” is drawn below. The IMAGINARY function returns the vertical component of the complex number. Notes: Images courtesy ofwumbo.net. IMREAL Function The Excel IMREAL function returns the real part of a complex number. IMABS Function The Excel IMABS function returns the absolute value of a complex number. IMARGUMENT Function The Excel IMARGUMENT function returns the angle of a complex number expressed in radians.

For example, given the complex number “3+4i” the function returns the angle 0.927295218. To convert the angle to degrees, use the DEGREES function. For example, consider the complex number “-5-5i” in the complex plane. The IMARGUMENT function always returns angles in the range from - to radians. For the complex number “-5-5i” the function returns the angle -3/4 . For complex numbers that lie on the negative real axis, the function returns radians....

Typically, the conjugate appears in text with a horizontal bar over the complex number. The conjugate is used to divide a complex number by another. In other words, the divisor is converted into a real number which we know how to divide by. This is equal to the following formula in Excel. In practice, Excel provides the IMDIV function to perform complex division. IMDIV Function The Excel IMDIV function returns the quotient of two complex numbers....
