Your IF formula isn't working? One of the main mistakes is the "else" argument. That's the last argument inside the IF function. Make sure you haven't forgotten to specify what should happen "if" the condition isn't met. In case you have more than one condition, here's the place to add the second "if" statement. An IF formula inside another IF formula is called a nested if function.

As a computer trainer for over 30 years, I'd have to say you are by far the best online video tutorial creator that's on YouTube. Every single one of your videos is very clear and easy to understand and the fact that you provide the files for people to use/practice with makes your videos truly exceptional. Thank you!

[jackbmeere]

Thank you Leila, I have watched other people's Excel Video's but tend to get lost in the technical jargon, however, since I found your video's, I am soaring ahead due to your no nonsense, easy to learn approach to each and every part of the exercise, and they guarantee success every time. I won't watch anyone else's video's anymore because your video lectures are easily miles ahead of the field and as a consequence I have now subscribed and will recommend you to all my family and friends.

[thomasprais]

Leila, you have the best Excel tutorials I've found on YouTube. By far. Clear, concise, excellent examples. Thanks so much!

[Bruknws]

Since discovering your channel I've improved my excel skills by a loooot. Thank you!

[jimp]

As an instructor myself, I appreciate your skills. This video and the several others I have watched cover the material efficiently, without breaking the material down to a painfully basic level. There is no magic amount of detail for every audience as their diverse skill set is the uncontrollable variable, but you are nailing it for my needs. Thank you, and keep them coming!

[jillianvash]

I really like the way you use your examples to explain things further and more clearly. You've saved me about 3 days of work so far with the videos I've watched this month. Thank you.

Hi Leila
Your explanations and exolaining technique is brilliant. A real nice work. Keep up the fabulous job. It is really helpful for so many users like me. Thanks again for the brilliant explanation.

[susans]

Wow, girl, you are very good. Thank you very much. You explained it very well. You remind me of my maths tutor who taught me maths so well that I passed with an A+ even though I used to suck so badly at maths in the past. Keep the good work, please. The world needs great teachers like you.

[shevshenko]

Lady you are such a great teacher, please keep up the good work, I can't wait to see your next video, thank you so much.

[NickStAmant-xmsu]

Great explanation. I'd been looking for a good example of the OR function for days. This is the first I've found that really explains it.

[DIgitusSmartas]

By far the best and correct tutorial, I have did excel 11 years ago but forgot a lot and many videos ppl use to feed their ego and showing ppl incorrect ways to do it and this is how I remember. Being taught at Tafe. Full formula no shortcuts no fancy ways of explaining. Perfect and to the point. Calm voice, clear instructions and best of clear voice and at perfect tempo. Any faster talk and you could miss half the talk. Awesome

[mushthepig]

This is 1000x better than a course I paid for. I'm glad I found you on YouTube and I've subscribed. Thanks so much!

[nwonyeemmanuel]

[cengizgenc]

After searching for an hour how to use "if" multiple times: you are the only one come up with this most accurate and proper formula. Thank you so much Leila from the bottom of my heart for this well prepared tutorial.

[chrisp]

You present information in a polished but not over-produced way. It's less like teaching ideas and concepts and more like a confident professional passing on information to peers conversationally. You have a great combination of skills and attributes that allows the viewer engage almost like you are speaking with them personally. I'm subscribed, thank you.

[billandrews]

Besides learning how to correctly use conditional functions in formulas, I learned how to structure my table of requirements. Once I followed your table structure, the logic easily fell into place. Thank you and may God's face shine on you...

[Nonetheless]

I've watched several tutorials on Excel by other instructors. In my opinion, you are by far the best! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and understandable way.

[knitechknitech]

Thank you Leila! This is a good lecture. If you can provide the excel exercise with headings only, we can practice simultaneously with your video. It will speed up our learning. A miracle will happen.
