IFS
The IFS function checks specified expressions and returns a value based on the first condition that evaluates to a boolean value of TRUE.
IFS(ifs-expression, ifs-true, ifs-expression…, ifs-true…)
ifs-expression: A logical expression. ifs-expression can contain anything as long as the expression can be evaluated as a boolean value. If the expression evaluates to a number, 0 is considered to be FALSE, and any other number is considered to be TRUE.
ifs-true: The value returned if ifs-expression is TRUE. ifs-true can contain any value. If ifs-true is omitted (there’s a comma, but no value) and ifs-expression evaluates to TRUE, IFS will return 0.
ifs-expression…: An optional logical expression to be evaluated if ifs-expression is FALSE. ifs-expression can contain anything as long as the expression can be evaluated as a boolean value. If the expression evaluates to a number, 0 is considered to be FALSE, and any other number is considered to be TRUE.
ifs-true…: The value returned if ifs-expression… is TRUE. ifs-true can contain any value. If ifs-true… is omitted (there’s a comma, but no value) and ifs-expression… evaluates to TRUE, IFS will return 0.
Notes
If all expressions are FALSE, an error is returned.
You can enter "TRUE" for the last ifs-expression… in your formula, followed by a default value for ifs-true…, to specify the result if all previous expressions (including ifs-expression and all instances of ifs-expression…) evaluate to FALSE.

=IFS(A2>91,"A",A2>82,"B",A2>73,"C",A2>64,"D",TRUE,"F") returns the letter grade "A" for a number greater than 91, then returns a "B" for a number greater than 82 but less than 92, and so on for all values less than 65, which returns an "F". =IFS(A2>91,"A",A2>82,"B",A2>73,"C",A2>64,"D",TRUE,"F") returns the letter grade "A" for a number greater than 91, then returns a "B" for a number greater than 82 but less than 92, and so on for all values less than 65, which returns an "F". =IFS(A2>91,"A",A2>82,"B",A2>73,"C",A2>64,"D","A2<>0","Attemped", "TRUE,"F") returns the letter grade "A" for a number greater than 91, then returns a "B" for a number greater than 82 but less than 92, and so on for all values less than 65, which returns an "F". Let A2 contain "A dog" Let A1 = COUNTMATCHES(A2, REGEX("\w+")) =IFS(A1 = 0, "No word", A1 = 1, "One word", A1 = 2, "Two words", A1 > 2, "Multiple words") returns "Two words". |
