Step by step
- 1Decide the test, e.g. is the score in B2 at least 50?
- 2Enter =IF(B2>=50, "Pass", "Fail").
- 3The cell shows "Pass" when true and "Fail" when false. Copy it down.
Tips
- For several conditions in order, use IFS instead of deeply nested IFs.
- Combine tests with AND/OR, e.g. =IF(AND(B2>=50, C2="Open"), "Yes", "No").
