Excel IF statement with multiple conditions

The tutorial shows how to create multiple IF statements in Excel with AND as well as OR logic. Also, you will learn how to use IF together with other Excel functions.

In the first part of our Excel IF tutorial, we looked at how to construct a simple IF statement with one condition for text, numbers, dates, blanks and non-blanks. For powerful data analysis, however, you may often need to evaluate multiple conditions at a time. The below formula examples will show you the most effective ways to do this.

How to use IF function with multiple conditions

In essence, there are two types of the IF formula with multiple criteria based on the AND / OR logic. Consequently, in the logical test of your IF formula, you should use one of these functions:

  • AND function - returns TRUE if all the conditions are met; FALSE otherwise.
  • OR function - returns TRUE if any single condition is met; FALSE otherwise.

To better illustrate the point, let's investigate some real-life formulas examples.

Excel IF statement with multiple conditions (AND logic)

The generic formula of Excel IF with two or more conditions is this:

IF(AND(condition1, condition2, …), value_if_true, value_if_false)

Translated into a human language, the formula says: If condition 1 is true AND condition 2 is true, return value_if_true; else return value_if_false.

Suppose you have a table listing the scores of two tests in columns B and C. To pass the final exam, a student must have both scores greater than 50.

For the logical test, you use the following AND statement: AND(B2>50, C2>50)

If both conditions are true, the formula will return "Pass"; if any condition is false - "Fail".

=IF(AND(B2>50, B2>50), "Pass", "Fail")

Easy, isn't it? The screenshot below proves that our Excel IF /AND formula works right: Excel IF statement with multiple AND conditions

In a similar manner, you can use the Excel IF function with multiple text conditions.

For instance, to output "Good" if both B2 and C2 are greater than 50, "Bad" otherwise, the formula is:

=IF(AND(B2="pass", C2="pass"), "Good!", "Bad") Excel IF function with multiple text conditions

Important note! The AND function checks all the conditions, even if the already tested one(s) evaluated to FALSE. Such behavior is a bit unusual since in most of programming languages, subsequent conditions are not tested if any of the previous tests has returned FALSE.

In practice, a seemingly correct IF statement may result in an error because of this specificity. For example, the below formula would return #DIV/0! ("divide by zero" error) if cell A2 is equal to 0:

=IF(AND(A2<>0, (1/A2)>0.5),"Good", "Bad")

The avoid this, you should use a nested IF function:

=IF(A2<>0, IF((1/A2)>0.5, "Good", "Bad"), "Bad")

For more information, please see IF AND formula in Excel.

Excel IF function with multiple conditions (OR logic)

To do one thing if any condition is met, otherwise do something else, use this combination of the IF and OR functions:

IF(OR(condition1, condition2, …), value_if_true, value_if_false)

The difference from the IF / AND formula discussed above is that Excel returns TRUE if any of the specified conditions is true.

So, if in the previous formula, we use OR instead of AND:

=IF(OR(B2>50, B2>50), "Pass", "Fail")

Then anyone who has more than 50 points in either exam will get "Pass" in column D. With such conditions, our students have a better chance to pass the final exam (Yvette being particularly unlucky failing by just 1 point :) Excel IF function with multiple OR conditions

Tip. In case you are creating a multiple IF statement with text and testing a value in one cell with the OR logic (i.e. a cell can be "this" or "that"), then you can build a more compact formula using an array constant.

For example, to mark a sale as "closed" if cell B2 is either "delivered" or "paid", the formula is:

=IF(OR(B2={"delivered", "paid"}), "Closed", "")

More formula examples can be found in Excel IF OR function.

IF with multiple AND & OR statements

If your task requires evaluating several sets of multiple conditions, you will have to utilize both AND & OR functions at a time.

In our sample table, suppose you have the following criteria for checking the exam results:

  • Condition 1: exam1>50 and exam2>50
  • Condition 2: exam1>40 and exam2>60

If either of the conditions is met, the final exam is deemed passed.

At first sight, the formula seems a little tricky, but in fact it is not! You just express each of the above conditions as an AND statement and nest them in the OR function (since it's not necessary to meet both conditions, either will suffice):

OR(AND(B2>50, C2>50), AND(B2>40, C2>60)

Then, use the OR function for the logical test of IF and supply the desired value_if_true and value_if_false values. As the result, you get the following IF formula with multiple AND / OR conditions:

=IF(OR(AND(B2>50, C2>50), AND(B2>40, C2>60), "Pass", "Fail")

The screenshot below indicates that we've done the formula right: IF with multiple AND & OR statements

Naturally, you are not limited to using only two AND/OR functions in your IF formulas. You can use as many of them as your business logic requires, provided that:

  • In Excel 2007 and higher, you have no more than 255 arguments, and the total length of the IF formula does not exceed 8,192 characters.
  • In Excel 2003 and lower, there are no more than 30 arguments, and the total length of your IF formula does not exceed 1,024 characters.

Nested IF statement to check multiple logical tests

If you want to evaluate multiple logical tests within a single formula, then you can nest several functions one into another. Such functions are called nested IF functions. They prove particularly useful when you wish to return different values depending on the logical tests' results.

Here's a typical example: suppose you want to qualify the students' achievements as "Good", "Satisfactory" and "Poor" based on the following scores:

  • Good: 60 or more (>=60)
  • Satisfactory: between 40 and 60 (>40 and <60)
  • Poor: 40 or less (<=40)

Before writing a formula, consider the order of functions you are going to nest. Excel will evaluate the logical tests in the order they appear in the formula. Once a condition evaluates to TRUE, the subsequent conditions are not tested, meaning the formula stops after the first TRUE result.

In our case, the functions are arranged from largest to smallest:

=IF(B2>=60, "Good", IF(B2>40, "Satisfactory", "Poor"))

Naturally, you can nest more functions if needed (up to 64 in modern versions). Nested IF statement in Excel

For more information, please see How to use multiple nested IF statements in Excel.

Excel IF array formula with multiple conditions

Another way to get an Excel IF to test multiple conditions is by using an array formula.

To evaluate conditions with the AND logic, use the asterisk:

IF(condition1) * (condition2) * …, value_if_true, value_if_false)

To test conditions with the OR logic, use the plus sign:

IF(condition1) + (condition2) + …, value_if_true, value_if_false)

To complete an array formula correctly, press the Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys together. In Excel 365 and Excel 2021, this also works as a regular formula due to support for dynamic arrays.

For example, to get "Pass" if both B2 and C2 are greater than 50, the formula is:

=IF((B2>50) * (C2>50), "Pass", "Fail") IF array formula with multiple AND conditions

In my Excel 365, a normal formula works just fine (as you can see in the screenshots above). In Excel 2019 and lower, remember to make it an array formula by using the Ctrl + Shift + Enter shortcut.

To evaluate multiple conditions with the OR logic, the formula is:

=IF((B2>50) + (C2>50), "Pass", "Fail") IF array formula with multiple OR conditions

Using IF together with other functions

This section explains how to use IF in combination with other Excel functions and what benefits this gives to you.

Example 1. If #N/A error in VLOOKUP

When VLOOKUP or other lookup function cannot find something, it returns a #N/A error. To make your tables look nicer, you can return zero, blank, or specific text if #N/A. For this, use this generic formula:

IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(…)), value_if_na, VLOOKUP(…))

For example:

If #N/A return 0:

If the lookup value in E1 is not found, the formula returns zero.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E1, A2:B10, 2,FALSE )), 0, VLOOKUP(E1, A2:B10, 2, FALSE))

If #N/A return blank:

If the lookup value is not found, the formula returns nothing (an empty string).

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E1, A2:B10, 2,FALSE )), "", VLOOKUP(E1, A2:B10, 2, FALSE))

If #N/A return certain text:

If the lookup value is not found, the formula returns specific text.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E1, A2:B10, 2,FALSE )), "Not found", VLOOKUP(E1, A2:B10, 2, FALSE)) If #N/A error in VLOOKUP

For more formula examples, please see VLOOKUP with IF statement in Excel.

Example 2. IF with SUM, AVERAGE, MIN and MAX functions

To sum cell values based on certain criteria, Excel provides the SUMIF and SUMIFS functions.

In some situations, your business logic may require including the SUM function in the logical test of IF. For example, to return different text labels depending on the sum of the values in B2 and C2, the formula is:

=IF(SUM(B2:C2)>130, "Good", IF(SUM(B2:C2)>110, "Satisfactory", "Poor"))

If the sum is greater than 130, the result is "good"; if greater than 110 – "satisfactory', if 110 or lower – "poor". Using the IF function with SUM

In a similar fashion, you can embed the AVERAGE function in the logical test of IF and return different labels based on the average score:

=IF(AVERAGE(B2:C2)>65, "Good", IF(AVERAGE(B2:C2)>55, "Satisfactory", "Poor"))

Assuming the total score is in column D, you can identify the highest and lowest values with the help of the MAX and MIN functions:

=IF(D2=MAX($D$2:$D$10), "Best result", "")

=IF(D2=MAX($D$2:$D$10), "Best result", "")

To have both labels in one column, nest the above functions one into another:

=IF(D2=MAX($D$2:$D$10), "Best result", IF(D2=MIN($D$2:$D$10), "Worst result", "")) Using IF together with the MIN and MAX functions

Likewise, you can use IF together with your custom functions. For example, you can combine it with GetCellColor or GetCellFontColor to return different results based on a cell color.

In addition, Excel provides a number of functions to calculate data based on conditions. For detailed formula examples, please check out the following tutorials:

  • COUNTIF - count cells that meet a condition
  • COUNTIFS - count cells with multiple criteria
  • SUMIF - conditionally sum cells
  • SUMIFS - sum cells with multiple criteria

Example 3. IF with ISNUMBER, ISTEXT and ISBLANK

To identify text, numbers and blank cells, Microsoft Excel provides special functions such as ISTEXT, ISNUMBER and ISBLANK. By placing them in the logical tests of three nested IF statements, you can identify all different data types in one go:

=IF(ISTEXT(A2), "Text", IF(ISNUMBER(A2), "Number", IF(ISBLANK(A2), "Blank", ""))) IF with ISNUMBER, ISTEXT and ISBLANK

Example 4. IF and CONCATENATE

To output the result of IF and some text into one cell, use the CONCATENATE or CONCAT (in Excel 2016 - 365) and IF functions together. For example:

=CONCATENATE("You performed ", IF(B1>100,"fantastic!", IF(B1>50, "well", "poor")))

=CONCAT("You performed ", IF(B1>100,"fantastic!", IF(B1>50, "well", "poor")))

Looking at the screenshot below, you'll hardly need any explanation of what the formula does: Using IF and CONCATENATE

IF ISERROR / ISNA formula in Excel

The modern versions of Excel have special functions to trap errors and replace them with another calculation or predefined value - IFERROR (in Excel 2007 and later) and IFNA (in Excel 2013 and later). In earlier Excel versions, you can use the IF ISERROR and IF ISNA combinations instead.

The difference is that IFERROR and ISERROR handle all possible Excel errors, including #VALUE!, #N/A, #NAME?, #REF!, #NUM!, #DIV/0!, and #NULL!. While IFNA and ISNA specialize solely in #N/A errors.

For example, to replace the "divide by zero" error (#DIV/0!) with your custom text, you can use the following formula:

=IF(ISERROR(A2/B2), "N/A", A2/B2) Using IF together with ISERROR

And that's all I have to say about using the IF function in Excel. I thank you for reading and hope to see you on our blog next week!

    If column is 1 then multiply with 0.65
    If column is 2 then multiply with 0.55
    If column is 3 then multiply with 0.45
    If column is 4 then multiply with 0.35

  4. Hi,
    I need your advice. I can't find a way to write a formula for multiple logic from 2 different cells.

    To determine "Moving" from one of the cell, let's say A1 is "Yes".
    To determine "Sales" from one of cell, B1 is any number more than "0".

    Here are the logic:
    1. With Moving & With Sales = Moving
    2. Without Moving & without Sales = Non-moving
    3. With Moving & Without Sales = Others
    4. Without Moving & With Sales = Others

    So, what should I put C1 for the formula.
    I tried combination of IF (AND & OR) but failed.

    =IF(AND(E2="Yes";G2>=1);"Moving";"")&IF(AND(E2="No";G2=0);"Non-moving";"")&IF(AND(E2="Yes";G2=0);"Others";"")&IF(AND(E2="No";G2=0);"Others";"")

    It ended up with 2 results in 1 cell. For example, Non-moving & Others.

    Please help.

    Thank you so much!

  8. Hi I want to creates system that assigns roll numbers to my students.
    the conditions are:
    if 1-99 then it should display roll as SA followed by the number eg roll assignment should be SA1 for the 1st student, SA2 for 2nd student etc.
    For the next 100-999 then it should display roll as SB1 for the 100th student,SB2 for the 101st student.

    • Hello Lavanya,

      If you have serial numbers from 1 to 999 in some column, say column A, you can use the following formula:

      =IF(A1>99, "SB"&A1-99, IF(A1>0, "SA"&A1, ""))

      Or, you can generate roll numbers based on the row numbers in a worksheet:

      =IF(ROW()>99, "SB"&ROW()-99, "SA"&ROW())

  9. in ecxellsheet 1 column of date,i want that date become red when diff between today date and that day is above 365 day...which formula i used???

  10. Hi,

    I need some help how to create a formula that combines 2 sheets in my work book.

    I need formula to do this: If "name" in under some specific "date" then I want the "value" that is in cell next to to the "name" and under that "date" to be transferred to a cell under the same "date" but in other sheet.

    Can this be done and if it can how?

    Very much appreciate any help you can provide on this matter.

    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely yours,

  11. Hello Ms. Svetlana,

    I am using advance filters (and data range w/ drop down list) to filter data from a table with projects information, including "End Date" (of the project). The problem is, I have numbers (date) and sometimes text (e.x. "ongoing" project) in the cell, so the advance filter doesn´t work. I think I need a "If" statment that works with both numbers and text in the same cell.

    Thanks for your time!

  14. Hi
    I am trying to do a formula in excel which looks up a date from a cell in one sheet in to the equivalent cell in another sheet, however I have a couple scenarios that are a problem. I am looking up 2 columns both of which have dates in them, in the first column I need to look up F2 from one sheet and put it in to the other sheet in F2, however I have some blanks so I have used an ISBLANK formula without a problem =IF(ISBLANK('MAIN LIST 2'!F2)," ",('MAIN LIST 2'!F2)).
    I also have to look up G2 from one sheet to the other equivalent cell, however if there is a blank in cell G2, I need to use what is in F2 which I have used =IF('MAIN LIST 2'!G2,'MAIN LIST 2'!G2,'MAIN LIST 2'!F2), however this brings back 00/01/1900 in some cells where the cells in column F is blank. How do I return a blank in G2 if both F2 and G2 are both blank in the other sheet.
    Thanks

  25. =IF(B3>69,20(OR(B3>50403010<29,2))))))))). Not sure my formula showed up completely.

    • Hello Barbara,

      It looks like the formula got posted all wrong, sorry for this. Can you please describe the conditions in words?

      For example:
      - If B3 is greater than 69, return 20
      - If B3 is greater than 50, then what? etc.

      • If b3 is greater than 69, return 20
        If b3 is greater than 50, less than 68, return 15
        If be is greater than 40, less than 49, return 10
        If b is greater than 30, less than 48, return 5
        If b3 is less than 29, return 2

        I hope this one is more clear. Thank you Svetlana

        • Hello Barbara,

          You can us the following nested If's:

          =IF(B3>69,20, IF(B3>=50,15, IF(B3>=40,10, IF(B3>=30,5,2))))

  26. =IF(B3>69,20,(OR(B3>50403010<29,2)))))))))

    This formula is supposed to give me a hard number (20, 15, 10, 5, 0) based on the based upon input in b3. The first statement works correctly and returns a 20 if >69 in b3, however, the remainder of the formula returns "True" rather than a number. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

        If my understanding of the task is correct, the following formula should work a treat:

        =IF(D11=6, 450, 450+(60*(D11-6)))

I'm trying to work out commission structures in excel, for example if the fee is between 25k-49.99k, then the commission is 1.25%, if fee is between 50k-99.99k then commission is 1%, if fee is between 1 lacs - 199.99 lacs then commission is 0.75%, if fee is 2 lacs and above commission is 0.5%

  32. Hi Svetlana,

    I want to calculate the difference between date 1 "I3" and date 2 "L3", but in case of date 2 "L3" not available I want to calculate it between 1 "I3" and today date so, I wrote this formula but I keep receiving wrong result cause of not applying today formula
    =IF(L3,"=(TODAY())-(I3)",(L3-I3))

    • Hi Muahammad,

      Try this formula:

      =IF(L3="", TODAY()-I3, L3-I3)

  33. Thank you!! Your article is super clear! I had never understood the logic behind this functions until now.

  34. I'm trying to find the max excluding the middle portions of the data set. Using the table below, i'd like to find the max above Time=7 and below time=4. I've tried various permutations

    Time Total
    1 0
    2 0
    3 12
    4 0
    5 20
    6 19
    7 0
    8 11
    9 0
    10 0

    I think =MAX(IF(OR(A2:A11>7,A2:A11<4),B2:B11)) should work but it just returns the max of the entire data set (ie 20). If i break up the formula (ie exclude the OR) and add a secondary step it works. Any tips?

  35. Hi!
    This is my current formula: =if(and(ISBLANK(F2),ISTEXT(G2)),"New",)
    Right now, if there is no text in F2 AND there is text in G2, the cell will say "New"

    I want to add to the formula so it's this way:
    If there is no text in F2 AND there is text in G2, the cell will say "New" but IF there is text in G2 and F2, the cell should say "Ad Proofing"

    Could someone help me with this? Thank you!

    • =if(and(ISBLANK(F2),ISTEXT(G2)),"New","Add Proofing") try this should help

  36. I would like to add multiple conditions to my spreadsheet for example: for every A.. that has "name" and B.. that has 1 then add 0.05 to G1

  37. Dear Sir,
    How can use over 9 conditions.

    =IF(H11=2,I19+H19+H20+H21,IF(H11=3,I20+H20+H21,IF(H11=4,I21+H21+H22,IF(H11=5,I22+H22+H23,IF(H11=6,I23+H23+H24,IF(H11=7,I24+H24+H25,IF(H11=8,I25+H25+H26,IF(H11=9,I26+H26+H27))))))))

    • It may have to do with the version of Excel you are using. If it is an older version, I believe you can only have a maximum of 7 conditions. The newer versions allow up to 64. You may want to look into that.

  42. I am trying to make an If then statement for the following:

    If box F5 = 100, then box F6 = 3000

    if box F5 100, then box F6 = 5 x every number over 100 + 3000
    (example if F5 = 105, the box F6 would need to be (5*5)+3000

    Could you help me make a formula? Please?

    • it cut off part of my formula:

      also add in: if box F5 < 100, than F6 = 3000

      • Hi Emily,

        Try the following formula:

        =IF(F5<=100, 3000, 5*(F5-100)+3000)

  43. I have a spreadsheet that has a due date in column j, and a status of open or closed in column K.
    I need Column L to calculate if the date is after today's date, and the status is open, then it says On Track, if the date is after today's date and the status is closed, then it says completed, and if the date is before today's date and the status is either open or closed then it shows Delayed... I've figured out how to get it to show On Track, Completed and Delayed based on just the date in column j, but I can't figure out how to get the status involved.

    • Hi Kayla,

      Please use the below function,

      =IF(AND(J14>TODAY(),K14="Open"),"On Track",IF(AND(J14>TODAY(),K14="Close"),"Completed",IF(AND(J14<TODAY(),OR(K14="Open",K14="Close")),"Delayed","")))

      Thanks,

    If age is ≥ 18 years:then 1.5 - 3.5 µmol/L

    • Hi,

      use this function,

      =IF(A2<1,"0.5 to 1.8 umol/L",IF(A2<6,"0.7 to 1.5 umol/L",IF(A2<12,"0.9 to 1.7 umol/L",IF(A2<18,"0.9 to 2.5 umol/L","1.5 to 3.5 umol/L"))))

    • Hi Sam!

      Use the following formula to calculate a months count
      =(YEAR(NOW())-YEAR(A1))*12+MONTH(NOW())-MONTH(A1)

      So your formula is:

      =IF((YEAR(NOW())-YEAR(A1))*12+MONTH(NOW())-MONTH(A1)>18*12,"1.5 - 3.5 µmol/L",IF((YEAR(NOW())-YEAR(A1))*12+MONTH(NOW())-MONTH(A1)>13*12,"0.9 to 2.5 µmol/L",IF((YEAR(NOW())-YEAR(A1))*12+MONTH(NOW())-MONTH(A1)>7*12,"0.9 - 1.7 µmol/L",IF((YEAR(NOW())-YEAR(A1))*12+MONTH(NOW())-MONTH(A1)>1*12,"0.7 - 1.5 µmol/L","0.5 to 1.8 µmol/L"))))

      Please note A1 should be contain a birth date.

  48. Hi Svetlana,

    I need some help on below issue.

    Below function has been created to get the status of Customer Statement of Account as mentioned below. As per my function, If there are no details in C4, I'm getting the status as "Unapplied". But I need it to be zero. How can I write this function.

    =IF(RIGHT(C4,1)="I","Invoice",IF(RIGHT(C4,1)="C","Credit Note",IF(AND(C4="NULL",A4="Unidentified"),"Unidentified","Unapplied")))

    Thanks for you guidance in all the time.

    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Prabath

    • Hi Prabath,

      If "no details in C4" means "if C4 is blank", then you can simply add one more IF statement to your formula:

      =IF(C4="", 0, IF(RIGHT(C4,1)="I","Invoice",IF(RIGHT(C4,1)="C","Credit Note",IF(AND(C4="NULL",A4="Unidentified"),"Unidentified","Unapplied"))))
