Using nested if function in Excel you can analyse data or perform calculations based on multiple criteria.

1. Nested ‘IF’ function in Excel by familycomputerclub.com http://www.familycomputerclub.com

2. Click in cell H3 where we wish to find the ‘Grade’ of the student. We have input the individual marks, calculated the total marks and then the average. http://www.familycomputerclub.com

3. 2. We wish to assign grade ‘A’, ‘B’, ’C’ and ’D’ to students with marks greater than or equal to 90, 80,70 and 60 respectively. For all other students we assign ‘work harder’ http://www.familycomputerclub.com

4. 3. The applied formula has to read as follows: If G3, the average value, is greater than 90 then assign grade ‘A’; if G3 is greater than 80 then assign grade ‘B’ and so on. http://www.familycomputerclub.com

5. 4. Finally if G3 does not meet any of the criteria values we assign the student the remark ‘work harder’ http://www.familycomputerclub.com

6. =IF (G3>-90, “A”, IF (G3>=80, “B”,IF (G3>=70, “C”,IF (G3>=60, “D”, “WORK HARDER”)))) We close as many brackets as we open THEN ELSE The first comma is read as ‘Then’ and the next comma is read as ‘else’ http://www.familycomputerclub.com
