MIND-BLOWING Google Sheets IF Function Secrets Revealed

To create an IF function in Google Sheets that displays a bonus, you can use a formula structure like `=IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)`. For instance, if you want to give a bonus to employees who have met their sales target, you could use a formula such as `=IF(A2=sales_target, "Bonus", "No Bonus")`. This formula checks if the sales in cell A2 meet the predefined sales target and displays "Bonus" if true, or "No Bonus" if false.
For conditional formatting, you can highlight cells based on certain criteria, such as highlighting all cells that contain the word "Bonus". To do this, select the range of cells you want to apply the formatting to, click on 'Format', then 'Conditional formatting'. In the pane that opens to the right, under the 'Format cells if' drop-down menu, you can set the specific condition, like 'Text is exactly' and then type "Bonus". You can then choose the formatting style, such as a particular background colour, to apply when the condition is met.
Additionally, you can use custom formulas in conditional formatting to apply more complex rules. For example, to highlight an entire row if a certain cell in that row contains "Bonus", you would select the range, open the conditional formatting pane, and under the 'Format cells if' menu, select 'Custom formula is'. Then, you could enter a formula like `=INDIRECT("C"&ROW())="Bonus"` assuming that column C contains the word "Bonus". This will highlight the entire row if the condition is true.
Remember, the INDIRECT function is used here to reference a cell dynamically based on the row number in which the formula is applied. This is useful when applying the formatting across multiple rows. Always ensure that your custom formula is written correctly and references the appropriate cells to avoid errors in your conditional formatting.
These functionalities in Google Sheets allow for dynamic and visually intuitive spreadsheets, making it easier to interpret data at a glance and manage information efficiently. By combining IF functions with conditional formatting, you can create powerful data-driven formats that respond to the data entered in real-time, providing immediate visual feedback on the information being analysed.
