I believe it is an IF formula. I want to say: If (cell) is greater than 10 then I want "Good" to appear. How do I do this?

=IF(B1>10,"good","bad")
Where B1 is the cell you want to compare. You don't have to put "bad" and can leave that blank. |

=if(cell)>10,''good'' i think thats how you do it but im not sure.

For this you can use IF function:
Returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE and another value if it evaluates to FALSE. Use IF to conduct conditional tests on values and formulas. Syntax IF(logical_test,value_if_true,value_if_false) Logical_test is any value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE. For example, A10=100 is a logical expression; if the value in cell A10 is equal to 100, the expression evaluates to TRUE. Otherwise, the expression evaluates to FALSE. This argument can use any comparison calculation operator. Value_if_true is the value that is returned if logical_test is TRUE. For example, if this argument is the text string "Within budget" and the logical_test argument evaluates to TRUE, then the IF function displays the text "Within budget". If logical_test is TRUE and value_if_true is blank, this argument returns 0 (zero). To display the word TRUE, use the logical value TRUE for this argument. Value_if_true can be another formula. Value_if_false is the value that is returned if logical_test is FALSE. For example, if this argument is the text string "Over budget" and the logical_test argument evaluates to FALSE, then the IF function displays the text "Over budget". If logical_test is FALSE and value_if_false is omitted, (that is, after value_if_true, there is no comma), then the logical value FALSE is returned. If logical_test is FALSE and value_if_false is blank (that is, after value_if_true, there is a comma followed by the closing parenthesis), then the value 0 (zero) is returned. Value_if_false can be another formula. Please check the example: On a budget sheet, cell A10 contains a formula to calculate the current budget. If the result of the formula in A10 is less than or equal to 100, then the following function displays "Within budget". Otherwise, the function displays "Over budget". IF(A10<=100,"Within budget","Over budget") In the following example, if the value in cell A10 is 100, then logical_test is TRUE, and the total value for the range B5:B15 is calculated. Otherwise, logical_test is FALSE, and empty text ("") is returned that blanks the cell that contains the IF function. IF(A10=100,SUM(B5:B15),"") Suppose an expense worksheet contains in B2:B4 the following data for "Actual Expenses" for January, February, and March: 1500, 500, 500. C2:C4 contains the following data for "Predicted Expenses" for the same periods: 900, 900, 925. You can write a formula to check whether you are over budget for a particular month, generating text for a message with the following formulas: IF(B2>C2,"Over Budget","OK") equals "Over Budget" IF(B3>C3,"Over Budget","OK") equals "OK" Suppose you want to assign letter grades to numbers referenced by the name AverageScore. See the following table. If AverageScore is Then return Greater than 89 A From 80 to 89 B From 70 to 79 C From 60 to 69 D Less than 60 F Please check with above examples |
