How to Use Multiple IF Statements in Excelīefore we get into using multiple IF statements, let’s get started with a simple example of using only one IF statement and build from there.
We’ll explain the reason behind that later in the article, but for now, let’s look at some examples of how nested IF statements can help you perf data analytics. Note, though, that just because it’s possible to nest a large amount of IF statements, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. With the current version of Excel, you can nest up to 64 different IF functions - which is basically like chaining a bunch of ELSEIF conditions in a programming language. We can look at this as pseudocode again to figure out what is happening. Here is what a nested IF statement would look like: IF(condition1, value_if_true1, IF(condition2, value_if_true2, value_if_false2)) This structure means that you could create an IF statement, and then if that statement evaluates to true, the code can then use another IF statement and so on. The third parameter in the Excel IF statement is equivalent to what an ELSE statement would return in many programming languages, but you can also use another IF statement as the third parameter. To get a sense of how this works, we can convert it to pseudocode like the example below: IF (condition) THEN value_if_false: The value that is returned if condition evaluates to FALSE.value_if_true: The value that is returned if condition evaluates to TRUE.condition: The value that you want to test.Here is the syntax of the IF statement in Excel: IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false) Let’s look at the syntax of the IF statement. If the statement returns false, then another value is returned. If the statement returns true, then one value is returned. As the image above suggests, we use the IF statement to evaluate a condition.
