Must pass 4 out of 6 subjects

The formula above is in fact the formula entered in cell J5, copied down. IF function To return “Pass” or “Fail”, we use theIF function. If COUNTIF returns the number 4 or greater, the logical test will return TRUE. Otherwise, the logical test will return FALSE. Finally, we need to add thevalue_if_trueandvalue_if_falsearguments and close up the formula. Otherwise, the IF function returns “Fail”. More than one condition can be tested by nesting IF functions....

Named ranges as absolute references

By default, named ranges behave like absolute references and don’t change when you copy formulas. In addition, they make your formulas easier to read. Let’s take a look. The first step is to create the named range. We’ll use the name “hourly rate.” Named ranges must begin with a letter and cannot contain spaces or punctuation. Now we need to update our formulas to use the named range. Because C6 is now a named range, Excel replaces C6 with the name “hourly rate....

Named Ranges in Excel

Named ranges are one of these crusty old features in Excel that few users understand. But named ranges are actually a pretty cool feature. They can make formulas a lot easier to create, read, and maintain. And as a bonus, they make formulas easier to reuse (more portable). In fact, I use named ranges all the time when testing and prototyping formulas. They help me get formulas working faster. A named range is just a human-readable name for a range of cells in Excel....

Nearest location with XMATCH

Explanation At the core, this formula is a basicINDEX and MATCH formula. A match mode value of 1 tells XMATCH to find an exact match ornext largest value. Regardless of order, MATCH will return the first exact match or next largest value. Note: in the even of a tie, XMATCH will return the first match for tied values.

Nested IF function example

One way to do this in Excel is to use a series of nested IF functions. You’ll often hear this referred to as “nested IFs”. The idea of nesting comes from embedding or “nesting” one IF function inside another. In the workbook shown, we are nesting IF functions to assign grades based on a score. In this example, we start at the bottom. If the result is FALSE, we move into the next IF function....
