20. 20 IF Conditional IF function –Boolean logical function that returns different values (TRUE or FALSE) depending on how the specified condition evaluates –=IF(logical_test,value_if_true,value_if_ false) Nested function (permitted by IF function) –Contains additional formulas and/or functions as one or more of its arguments Provides flexibility of choosing between two different sets of criteria, and up to seven different levels of logical tests
