Dipesh

Thank you for your question.

When building models using IF(), it’s common to come upon a second fork in the road when evaluating either the value_if_true or value_if_false arguments.
For example, consider the variation of our formula that outputs a description based on the value in cell A1:
=IF(A1 >= 1000, “Big!”, “Not big”) What if you want to return a different string for values greater than, say, 10,000? In other words, if the condition A1 > 1000 proves to be true, you want to run another test that checks to see if A1 > 10000. You can handle this scenario by nesting a second IF() function inside the first as the value_if_true argument:
=IF(A1 >= 1000, IF(A1 >= 10000, “Really big!!”, “Big!”), “Not big”) If A1 > 1000 returns TRUE, the formula evaluates the nested IF(), which returns Really big!! if A1 > 10000 is TRUE, and returns Big! if it’s FALSE; if A1 > 1000 returns FALSE, the
formula returns Not big. Note, too, that you can nest the IF() function in the value_if_false argument. For example,
if you want to return the description Small for a cell value less than 100, you would use this version of the formula:
=IF(A1 >= 1000, “Big!”, IF(A1 < 100, “Small”, “Not big”))

I hope this goes some way to answering your question.

regards

Best team

Excel tip:

Colouring cells containing formulas

Cells in a worksheet can contain values or they can contain formulas. You may wish to identify all the cells in your worksheet that contain formulas by colouring those cells.

Follow these steps:
1. Choose Edit > Go To menu, or press either F5 or Ctrl+G. Excel displays the Go To dialog box.
2. Click Special. Excel displays the Go To Special dialog box.
3. Select the Formulas radio button option.
4. Select OK.

At this point, every formula cell in the worksheet is selected, and those cells can be coloured formatted as desired.
