Adding the "Value if False" argument to the IF Function

The last section to add to the IF function is the “value if false" argument of the function followed by the right or closing round bracket.

In this case, if the value in cell A3 is not greater than the value in cell B3, we want the function to place a "B is larger" in cell D1.

For our example

type "B is larger" followed by a right or closing round bracket ")".

In cell D1 you should see the completed IF function:

=IF(A3 > B3,"A is larger","B is larger")
