The IF function is one of the most popular functions in Excel. But writing nested Excel IF formulas in situations when more than 1 condition has to be checked can become cumbersome. If you have Excel 2019 or Microsoft 365 you can use the Excel IFS function instead.

📈 What You'll Discover:
- Excel's IFS Function: Learn to utilize IFS for various logical tests, replacing the need for nested IF statements.
- Practical Examples: Follow along with two real-world scenarios, including salary comparisons and feedback emoji creation using IFS.
- Custom Formatting: See how custom formatting can transform numerical weekdays into textual representations.

👨‍💻 In This Tutorial:
- Salary Comparison: Compare salaries against a benchmark, categorizing them as higher, lower, or the same.
- Feedback Emoji Creation: Convert employee feedback into emojis and add conditional formatting for a more engaging data presentation.
- Bonus Tip: Explore the potential of VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP as alternatives to complex IFS or IF statements.

In this tutorial I'll show you how easy it is to use this logical function when testing for multiple criteria. Your formulas will be much easier to read.

Since the IFS function only checks for the TRUE condition, how can you include an else condition in IFS? There is a simple way around this. Check it out at minute 02:42.

I'll also show you how you can use conditional formatting in Excel (on emojis) to visualize results better.

As a special bonus tip I'll cover how you could replace the Nested IF formulas with the VLOOKUP function.
