1. A little Boolean Logic

2. IF loving you is wrong THEN I dont want to be right

3. IF-THEN Statements If, Then, Else (a.k.a. Otherwise) What is your procedure? In excel this is written as : IF(Condition, True Value, False Value)

4. Sample Problem 1 If a driver is going over 65 mph a speeding ticket should be issued.

5. Sample Problem 1 Yes Speed > 65 No Issue Ticket No Ticket

6. Sample Problem 1 Speed Caught TravelingAction To Be Taken 65Issue Ticket 55No Ticket Speed Caught TravelingAction To Be Taken 65=IF(A11<65,"No Ticket","Issue Ticket") 55=IF(A12<65,"No Ticket","Issue Ticket")

7. Nested IF-THEN Statements What if you have a second condition? IF(Cond, True,IF(Cond, True, False))

8. Sample Problem 2 If a driver is going over 65 mph or under 45 mph a speeding ticket should be issued.

9. Sample Problem 2 Yes Speed < 40 No Issue Ticket Speed > 65 YesNo Issue TicketNo Ticket

10. Nested IF-THEN Statements Speed 65Ticket 14Ticket 55No Ticket Speed 65=IF(A11>64,"Ticket",IF(A11<40,"Ticket","No Ticket")) 14=IF(A12>64,"Ticket",IF(A12<40,"Ticket","No Ticket")) 55=IF(A13>64,"Ticket",IF(A13<40,"Ticket","No Ticket"))

11. Using Formulas 1.Highlight the cell you want to write a formula for. 2.Click into the formula bar and type the operation you wish to perform 3.Remember you must always start a formula with an =

12. Formula Notations * = multiplication ^ = raise to the power of / = divide by +/- = addition/subtraction ( ) = parenthesis very important for order of operation

13. Functions Excel has tons of built in functions to perform everything from rounding to advanced statistical tests.
