IFS Function Explained
The IFS
function in Microsoft Excel is used to test multiple conditions at the same time and returns a value that corresponds to the first true condition. It takes up to 127 arguments, each of which is a logical expression that evaluates to either TRUE
or FALSE
. If the first argument is TRUE
, the function returns the value in the corresponding second argument; if the first argument is FALSE
, the function evaluates the second argument and so on. If none of the arguments are TRUE
, the function returns the value in the last argument.
