Logical Function
AND Function
The Excel AND function tests a number of supplied conditions and returns:

 TRUE if ALL of the conditions evaluate to TRUE

or
 FALSE otherwise (i.e. if ANY of the conditions evaluate to FALSE).
The syntax of the function is:

AND( logical_test1, [logical_test2], ... )
where the logical_test arguments are one or more conditions that evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE.
Notes:

Excel And Function Examples

  A B C   A B C
1 5 10 =AND( A1>0, A1<B1 ) 1 5 10 TRUE
=AND( A2>0, A2<B2, FALS
2 5 10 B2>12 ) 2 5 10 E
3 5 10 =AND( A3<0, A3>B3, 3 5 10 FALS

B3>12 ) E

OR Function Description
The Excel OR function tests a number of supplied conditions and returns either:

 TRUE if ANY of the conditions evaluate to TRUE

or
 FALSE otherwise (i.e. if ALL of the conditions evaluate to FALSE).
The syntax of the function is:

OR( logical_test1, [logical_test2], ... )
where the logical_test arguments are one or more conditions that evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE.

Excel Or Function Examples

The following spreadsheet shows three examples of the Excel Or function.

 Formulas:  Results:

  A B C   A B C
1 5 10 =OR( A1>0, A1<B1 ) 1 5 1 TRUE

[IT1091]: [Intro. To info. And comm. technologies] Page 6

=OR( A2>0, A2>B2, 0
2 5 10 B2>12 )
1
=OR( A3<0, A3>B3, 2 5 0 TRUE
3 5 10 B3>12 )
1
3 5 0 FALSE

IF Function Description
The Excel IF function tests a supplied condition and returns one result if the condition evaluates to TRUE, and
another result if the condition evaluates to FALSE.

The syntax of the function is:

IF( logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false )

If Function Example
The following spreadsheet shows two simple uses of the Excel If function. In these examples,
the logical_test checks whether the corresponding value in column A is less than zero and returns:
 The text string "negative" if the value in column A is less 0
or
 The text string "positive" otherwise (i.e. if the value in column A is greater than or equal to 0).

  A B C
=IF( A1<0, "negative",
1 5 "positive" )  - returns "positive"
2 -2 =IF( A2<0, "negative",  - returns "negative"
