Logical Function in Excel

Logical Function in Excel: Hello Friends, Today we'll discuss the Logical Function in Excel. MS Excel provides four main logical functions-AND, OR, NOT, and IF. Now some more logical functions are also available to work with the logical value. These functions play an important role when you want to test multiple conditions instead of just one. MS Excel Logical Function returns either TRUE or FALSE as a result when their arguments are evaluated.

Excel Logical Functions

There are so many Excel Logical functions available. Here we'll explain some such Functions as below:

Functions	Description
AND Function	Return TRUE if all of its value are TRUE
OR Function	Return TRUE if any argument is TRUE
NOT Function	Reverses the logic of its argument
IF Function	Specifies a logical test to perform
IFERROR Function	Returns a specified value if the formula results in an error otherwise return the result of the formula
XOR Function	Returns a logical exclusive of all arguments

AND Function

The AND Function returns TRUE if all its arguments are TRUE and return FALSE if one or more argument are FALSE.

Formula used: =AND(B1>=20, C1<15)

The formula returns TRUE if a value in cell B2 is greater than or equal to 20 and a value in cell C2 is less than 15 otherwise returns FALSE.

OR Function

The OR function returns TRUE if any of its arguments are TRUE and return FALSE if all of its arguments are FALSE.

Formula Used: =OR(B2>=20, C2<15)

This formula returns TRUE if the value A2>=20 or B2<15 and returns FALSE if all of its argument are FALSE.

NOT Function

The NOT function reverses the value of its arguments it means it gives the opposite result.

Formula Used: =NOT(B2>=20)

This formula returns FALSE if the condition B2>=20 are satisfied otherwise returns TRUE.

IF Function

The IF Function is one of the most useful logical function in MS Excel. It allows you to make comparisons between a value and what you expect. It simply says that If something is TRUE then do something otherwise do something else. IF statements return two values as a result- one value if a condition is TRUE and another value if the condition is FALSE. 

Formula Used: =IF(C2>B2, "Over Budget", "Within Budget")

This formula returns TRUE if C2<B2 means within Budget and return FALSE means Over Budget if C2>B2.

IFERROR Function

It returns a specified value if the formula results in an error otherwise return the result of the formula. It is used to trap and handle errors.

Formula Used: IFERROR(A2/B2,"error")

This formula returns two values either error or result of the formula. It returns TRUE if A2/B2 returns an integer value or result of the formula and it returns FALSE means error if A2/B2 does not return an integer value or result of the formula.
