Create a Nested IF Formula

Handle three or more outcomes by placing IF inside IF (or use IFS).

You will learn to

  • Order tests from highest to lowest
  • Nest IF functions
  • Know the IFS alternative

How it works

A nested IF puts another IF in the value_if_false slot so you can test conditions in order: =IF(B2>=90,"A",IF(B2>=80,"B",IF(B2>=70,"C","F"))). IFS offers a flatter alternative.

=IF(B2>=90,"A",IF(B2>=80,"B",IF(B2>=70,"C","F")))
