The "IF" Statement in excel
A function called "IF" that returns different values depending on whether or not a condition is met.
Condition – this is what needs to be true or false, and its status is what determines what values are returned.
In brackets, you'll enter the value you want returned if the condition is met, followed by a comma, and then the value you want returned if the condition is not met, in that order. Then, you can close the parenthesis.
For now, let's take a closer look at how it works. For example, you could use this feature to sort students' test scores into pass/fail categories.
Let's say a student gets a passing grade on his exam if he gets a score of at least 50 out of 100. Our goal is to return "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether or not the value of cell A1 is greater than or equal to 50.
"SUM" in Excel
If you don't have the time or inclination to do the math yourself, SUM can save you time and avoid making mistakes. Large datasets, on the other hand, are where the SUM function really shines.
A SUM in Excel is as simple as entering the formula =SUM followed by a pair of parenthesis.
Once you've selected the cells you want to add together, simply close the parentheses and press Enter.
The cell will return the sum of all the numbers in the cells that have been selected in the selection.
Instead of highlighting data for the SUM, type the cell references manually, separated by a colon, and then use the SUM function.
Percentage Change in Excel
Excel's percentage change formula is used frequently. For example, to calculate the Monthly Change and the Total Change, for example. percent change.png image
Total Change can be calculated in this manner. For the second time, we correct the omission of cell B2. Enter the following formula in cell D3.
