#Excel FunctionDescriptionSyntax with ArgumentsSyntax onlyArguments only
1ANDCheck if all conditions in a test are TRUE=AND (logical1logical1 [required]: The first logical condition., [logical2logical2 [optional]: Additional logical condition.], ...)=AND (logical1, [logical2], ...)
  • logical1 (required): The first logical condition.
  • logical2 (optional): Additional logical condition.
2FALSEReturns the logical value FALSE=FALSE()=FALSE()
    3IFMake logical comparisons between a value and what you expect=IF(logical_testlogical_test [required]: Logical test/ condition.,[value_if_truevalue_if_true [optional]: Value if condition is met.], [value_if_falsevalue_if_false [optional]: Value if condition is not met.]=IF(logical_test,[value_if_true], [value_if_false]
    • logical_test (required): Logical test/ condition.
    • value_if_true (optional): Value if condition is met.
    • value_if_false (optional): Value if condition is not met.
    4IFERRORReturns a value you specify if a formula evaluates to an error; otherwise, it returns the result of the formula=IFERROR(valuevalue [required]: The argument that is checked for an error., value_if_errorvalue_if_error [required]: The value to return if the formula evaluates to an error.)=IFERROR(value, value_if_error)
    • value_if_error (required): The value to return if the formula evaluates to an error.
    • value (required): The argument that is checked for an error.
    5IFNAReturns the value specified if a formula returns the #N/A error value; otherwise it returns the result of the formula=IFNA(valuevalue [required]: The argument that is checked for the #N/A error value., value_if_navalue_if_na [required]: The value to return if the formula evaluates to the #N/A error value.)=IFNA(value, value_if_na)
    • value (required): The argument that is checked for the #N/A error value.
    • value_if_na (required): The value to return if the formula evaluates to the #N/A error value.
    6IFSChecks whether one or more conditions are met, and returns a value that corresponds to the first TRUE condition==ifs(logical_test1logical_test1 [required]: Logical test/ condition., value_if_true1value_if_true1 [required]: Value if condition is met., [logical_test2, value_if_true2logical_test2, value_if_true2 [optional]: Additioanl logical tests and values if condition is met])==ifs(logical_test1, value_if_true1, [logical_test2, value_if_true2])
    • logical_test1 (required): Logical test/ condition.
    • value_if_true1 (required): Value if condition is met.
    • logical_test2, value_if_true2 (optional): Additioanl logical tests and values if condition is met
    7NOTReturns the opposite of a logical value=NOT(logicallogical [required]: Logical expression to check for NOT condition)=NOT(logical)
    • logical (required): Logical expression to check for NOT condition
    8ORCheck if if any conditions in a test are TRUE=OR(logical1logical1 [required]: The first logical condition., [logical2logical2 [optional]: Additional logical condition.])=OR(logical1, [logical2])
    • logical1 (required): The first logical condition.
    • logical2 (optional): Additional logical condition.
    9SWITCHEvaluates one expression against a list of values, and returns the result corresponding to the first matching value. =SWITCH(expressionexpression [required]: Expression (such as a number, date or some text) that will be compared against values, value1value1 [required]: First value that will be compared against expression., result1result1 [required]: First result to be returned when the corresponding value matches expression, [default_or_value2, result2default_or_value2, result2 [optional]: Optional default value if no matches are found, or additional optional values/ result]=SWITCH(expression, value1, result1, [default_or_value2, result2]
    • expression (required): Expression (such as a number, date or some text) that will be compared against values
    • value1 (required): First value that will be compared against expression.
    • result1 (required): First result to be returned when the corresponding value matches expression
    • default_or_value2, result2 (optional): Optional default value if no matches are found, or additional optional values/ result
    10TRUEReturns the logical value TRUE=TRUE()=TRUE()
      11XORReturns a logical Exclusive Or of all arguments=XOR(logical1logical1 [required]: The first logical condition., [logical2logical2 [optional]: Additional logical condition.], ...)=XOR(logical1, [logical2], ...)
      • logical1 (required): The first logical condition.
      • logical2 (optional): Additional logical condition.
