RE: IF Statement

Hi Kerry

Thank you for your question.

Normally you will need to look at the function and troubleshoot this yourself. Common mistakes are:

- missing brackets, or not including enough brackets if you are creating a nested if funtion

- if you are using numbers as part of any of the arguments of the function, including commas within the numbers (e.g. 1,000 instead of 1000) will confuse Excel as it will think where the comma is within the number is where you have ended that particular argument

- not including a 'value if false' argument as the final argument in a nested if function.

- putting in the wrong symbol, e.g using > as less than rather than greater than.

I hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Using Excel's MODE function

Use Excel's MODE function to display the most common value present in a particular range of cells.

The Mode function looks like this:

=MODE(cell range)

As an example, if 35 is the most commonly recurring number in a particular cell range, then the function will display 35.
