Step by step
- 1Identify your conditions. For AND logic (all conditions must be true), wrap them in AND(). For OR logic (any condition can be true), wrap them in OR().
- 2Place the AND() or OR() as the logical test of IF: =IF(AND(A2>50,B2="Yes"),"Approved","Rejected").
- 3Press Enter. The formula evaluates all conditions inside AND/OR, then returns the appropriate value based on the combined result.
Tips
- You can nest AND and OR together: =IF(AND(A2>0,OR(B2="Yes",B2="Maybe")),"OK","No") to create complex multi-condition logic.
