Many Excel users rely on the IF function to perform logical tests of formulas, but they're often unaware of other functions that can be used to improve the integrity of decision-making formulas. In this comprehensive presentation, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, introduces the IF function and then goes beyond the basics. You'll learn what can go awry with IF as well as alternatives to the function. David's contention is that if you find yourself nesting more than a couple of IF functions, there's probably a simpler and more resilient approach you can take.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
