Functions

Functions are pre programmed into spreadhseets.

The IF function is used to make choices:

=IF( Question, Do this if true, Do this if false)

There are three elements that need to be included inside the brakets,
seperated by a comma.

The IF Function
Elements
1. A question: this is the logical test, with a True or False answer.

2. What will be displayed if the answer is True

3. What will be displayed if the answer is False

Example:

=IF(A3=60, “Pass”, “Fail”)

Boolean operators

The logical test can use Boolean operators:

> greater than


< less than
= equal to
>= greater tahn or equal to
<= less than or equal to
<> not equal to

=IF(A3>=60, “Pass”, “Fail”)

The COUNTIF
Function
The COUNTIF function counts the number of cells in a range that meet a
specific criterion.

=COUNTIF ( Range, Criterion )

The range selects the cells to be checked

The Criterion is the condition that determins which cells will be counted

=COUNTIF( B2:B5, “B-” )
