The IF function is one of the most useful functions available in a spreadsheet program. Using the IF function adds flexibility to your spreadsheet by introducing decision making.

The IF function works by testing to see if a certain condition is true. If it is, the function enters one result in a specific cell, if it is not; it enters a different result in that cell.

The number of possible outcomes from the IF function can be increased by "nesting" one IF function inside another.

To find out more about this wonderful spreadsheet feature, watch the video on the Excel IF Function.
