Just make sure to wrap them in quotation marks when writing your IF formula, unless they are numbers. The advantage of using an IF function is that you can return any values you like by specifying the words that you want to appear. While “TRUE” and “FALSE” would probably be sufficient for my example, I prefer them to say “Yes” and “No” in answer to the question in by column header: “Hit goal?”. =”Excel Campus” = “excel campus” Returning Other Values It's also important to note that the case doesn't matter when comparing text. It is also important because you might not even need an IF function if the TRUE/FALSE values can be used to get the answer you are looking for. This is important because the logical test argument within IF needs a TRUE or FALSE (boolean) value returned to it. Logical tests return TRUE or FALSE values. Here is a list of comparison operators that can be used. The logical test portion of the formula always uses a comparison operator to compare values and determine if the statement is true or false. Let's talk about the most important part of the IF function: the logical test. If the Revenue is greater than or equal to the goal, I want column D to say Yes, and if not, to say No.
I'm comparing Revenue amounts with Goal amounts. If the condition is not met, this argument defines what the returned value will be. Defining this argument tells Excel to return a certain value if the condition in the logical test is met. This is where we can compare data or see if a condition is met. If you're not familiar with IF or could use a refresher, this post will help. It can help with comparing data, performing lookups to group data, and making reports interactive.
