IF Statements are what is called a LOGICAL test, such as is this value larger than this, if true do (or display) this, if false then do (or display) that. IF statements can be used for a lot of different things and all of them save you having to manual go through the data and perform the calculations themselves.
These are some examples of how IF statement can be used:
= IF (Question eg B17>B16, do this, otherwise do this)
OR, if you want to show text
=IF(Question eg B17>B16, “Text if correct”, “Text if incorrect”)
OR if you want to perform a calculation
=IF(Question eg B17>B16, if yes multiply sales by 2%, if not multiply sales by 1.5%)
