Every character is connected with a code. TEXT is simply the group of characters and strings of characters which convey the information about the different data and numbers in GOOGLE SHEETS. You’ll be amazed to see the capability of conditional formatting and its use which is awesome. If you haven’t used this, kindly go through the link LEARN TO USE CONDITIONAL FORMATTING IN GOOGLE SHEETS for the introduction. Replace and add as many OR arguments as you require.It simply means that if we put the conditions on the Text, the list or table which is containing the different text values, will be highlighted.įor example, if we have long list and we want to search for some specific word, case specific search, any text containing any specific character or any other type of condition, we can make use of conditional formatting. To use IF OR, =IF(OR(OR Argument 1, OR Argument 2), value_if_true, value_if_false). Replace the AND arguments with your own, and add as many as you like. To use IF AND, type =IF(AND(AND Argument 1, AND Argument 2), value_if_true, value_if_false). OR requires only one of the test criteria to be correct for a TRUE result. The AND function requires all test criteria to be correct for a TRUE result to be shown. This allows you to run an initial test with multiple criteria. Using IF with AND and ORĪs the IF function performs logical tests, with TRUE or FALSE results, it’s possible to nest other logical functions like AND and OR into an IF formula. This is shown in cell A6 in the above example.
If you don’t include a FALSE argument for the first test, Google Sheets will return an automatic FALSE text value for you instead. This gives you two potential “value_if_false” results (a 0 or a 1). With the first logical test (B3 equals 3) returning a TRUE result, the IF formula in cell A3 returned the number 4.įrom there, the “value_if_true” for the initial IF uses a second, nested IF statement to make a second test (whether C3, C4, C5, or C6 contain the number 4). The example above shows all three potential results of this test. Otherwise, return a 0. This example test has its own nested IF statement as the first “value_if_false” argument, requiring the first test to be FALSE before the second test is considered. If cell B3 doesn’t equal 4, then a second IF statement is used to test if cell B3 has a value less than 10. While this only shows a single nested IF statement, you can nest as many IF statements together as you require.Īs an example, if cell B3 equals 4, then the IF formula in A3 returns a 3. To nest multiple IF statements together into a single formula, simple type =IF(first_test, value_if_true, IF(second_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)). If you’d like to perform a longer, complex logical test, you can nest multiple IF statements into the same formula. This means the result of the logical test is FALSE, with the number 2 shown. In the example, cell B4 has a value of 9. If the result is TRUE, it returns the number 1. In the following example, the IF formula in cell A4 is testing whether cell B4 has a numerical value equal to, or greater than, the number 10. The result is TRUE, so the TRUE result (the letter A) is returned in A3.Ĭalculations also work well as a logical test. In the example shown, cell B3 contains the letter B. If cell B3 doesn’t contain the letter B, then cell A3 will return the FALSE value, which, in this example, is a text string containing the letter C.
In this case, that’s a text string containing the letter A. If cell B3 contains the letter B, then the TRUE value will be returned in cell A3. In the example shown below, an IF statement is used to test the value of cell B3. Replace “test” with your logical test and then replace the “value_if_true” and “value_if_false” arguments with the operation or result that Google Sheets will provide when the result is either TRUE or FALSE. To start, open your Google Sheets spreadsheet and then type =IF(test, value_if_true, value_if_false) into a cell.
