Step by step
- 1Write all conditions you need to be simultaneously true as arguments inside AND(): AND(condition1, condition2, …).
- 2Use the AND() as the logical_test of IF: =IF(AND(A2>0,B2>0),"Both Positive","Not Both Positive").
- 3Press Enter. The formula returns the first value only when every AND condition is TRUE; otherwise it returns the else value.
Tips
- For readability, break complex multi-condition formulas onto multiple lines in the formula bar using Alt+Enter (Windows) or Ctrl+Option+Return (Mac).

Frequently asked
Can I use IF AND to check text as well as numbers?
Yes. Conditions work with text, numbers, or dates: AND(A2="Yes",B2>100,C2<>"Exclude") is perfectly valid.
What happens if one of the cells in an AND condition is empty?
An empty cell evaluates to 0 or FALSE depending on context. A condition like A2>0 will be FALSE for an empty cell.
