What is a LOGICAL formula in a spreadsheet?
Logical formulas and functions evaluate logical conditions and return logical results (TRUE or FALSE). They enable you to perform logical comparisons, logical operations (AND, OR, NOT), and build conditional expressions for decision-making or data filtering purposes.
LOGICAL formula usage examples.
The IFERROR function checks if the first argument is an error value. If it is not an error, it returns the first argument. If the first argument is an error, it checks if the second argument is present. If the second argument is present, it returns the second argument. If the second argument is absent, it returns a blank value.
The IFS function evaluates multiple conditions and returns a value that corresponds to the first true condition. It can be used as an alternative to nested IF statements, making the formula more concise and easier to read. Each condition is followed by a value, and the function checks each condition in order until it finds a true condition. If none of the conditions are true, the function returns an optional default value.
