Enter the data for the IF function

It is always a good idea to enter all your data into a spreadsheet before you begin writing functions or formulas. This way you will know if there are any layout problems and it is less likely that you will need to make corrections to your functions later.

To begin this tutorial, add the following data to a worksheet so it resembles the example above:

Cell Data
A3 -- 23
A4 -- 30
A5 -- 45
A6 -- 57
B3 -- 20
B4 -- 45
B5 -- 40
B6 -- 60
