How can i make it so the text "Yes" is in green color and "No" in red color, of course using if formula. And how can i make it so if the cell value is none it says "0", but when it changes to other value it says "Yes" or "No"

hey, great tutorial! I was wondering if you could colour fill a cell for the "true" and "false" values? i.e. set a cell to 'green fill', if the value is true

[@saperis]

Yes, that's possible and I would use conditional formatting to do so: support.google.com/docs/answer/78413?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

[@wDec149]

@@saperis that's really helpful, thanks!

[@oddvagsmyr2086]

Thanks for the tutorial. However, I need information on how to write the formula in this case: If the expression A3 (as in paper format) occurs among other words in one cell, then I want an other cell (same sheet) to respond with a number (for instance 20). Can that be done?

[@johnnyanderson2-roblox185]

This helped tons, but when I put it into my sheet I think it is interfering with my other script. I have a script that checks the total time someone was on the clock and totals it up and puts it into a column, and I am trying to get the script to check if the total time is over a certain amount of minutes, and its giving a false true.

[@saperis]

If you are running an Apps Script script to evaluate times, then maybe something is wrong with the date format. Apps Script is essentially JavaScript and in JavaScript dates and times are notoriously difficult to work with. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

[@painfullyhonest]

what if I want the true/false answer to be determined by subtracting two fields? for example Field A and B if B>A then I want it to say "gain" and subtract A from B If A>B I want it to say "loss" and subtract B from A would it look something like =if(B>A,"gain"A-B,"Loss"B-A) needless to say this didn';t work. What am I missing?

[@saperis]

I don't know what you are missing. I'm terrible at just looking at a formula and seeing the mistake. The only solution for me is to A) check the Sheets formula documentation and B) do a Google search to see if others have achieved what I'm looking to do.

[@DerekPierce]

What if I want an If function for the a cell being populated with anything? I want to run a script but it only needs to run once the cell is filled.

[@saperis]

If with "run a script" you mean run Apps Script I would suggest you use the onEdit() trigger. Find out more about triggers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXSaoXWgeZh6fdk

how will we use if then if we want to check an one variable is greater than second and third by specific %then yes or no

[@saperis]

Sounds more like something IFS would take care of which checks for multiple variables.

What if i want to add a numeric value in the "bonus" cells, for example IF a "x" do the job, profit is "% of the price", if not, is "other % of the price", is that possible?

The value can be either text or numeric. So you should be able to achieve want you want to do.

Maybe try =if(B1, A1). That would copy the content of A1 if B1 weren't empty. Please check the specs to see that you reference a cell and not a column: support.google.com/docs/answer/3093364?hl=en

[@dreamscapechronicles11]

hi thanks for explaining it so simple way, also can you please tell how to insert a check box instead of "yes" or "no"?

[@saperis]

Substitute the "YES" for TRUE (without quotation marks!) and the "NO" for FALSE. Then you have to select the column with the TRUE / FALSE and from the menu choose Insert > Tick box. The cells with the TRUE values will be ticked, the ones with FALSE will be unticked.

[@JacobsenBros]

I want B3-C3 only if there is a number in b3. But if it doesn't I don't want it to calculate anything because I don't want to have a -200 for example when b3 has nothing and c3 has 200. Can I do that?

[@JacobsenBros]

I think I figured it out. =if(IFBLANK(B3),"",B3-C3) I understand it as saying if cell B3 is blank, then enter in nothing, but if it has something in it, then B3-C3. Thank you. Your video really helped me problem solve this.

Happy to hear that 😀

[@simpforyongbokk]

is there a way to have more than 2 conditions? eg if B3 = x, then D3 = y if B3 = p, then D3 = q if B3 = r, then D3 = s

[@saperis]

You should check out the IFS formula for multiple conditions.

@@elusive.firstname.lastname I still don't understand what you're trying to achieve. But if the IF function doesn't do the trick maybe check out the IFS as you can chain conditionals to be checked.

Hi, I have a question: how do do conditional substraction? for example, if the value is equal or less than 100,000. I need to substraction it to 50. if A1 =< 100,000. then B1 = A1 - 50. thank you ❤️

I've created a staff league table a d depending on actions they take they get points, then I have a column that totals up that staffs points. I need a cell to populate with (their name) whoever has the most points. Is this some thing that can be done with IF function?

[@saperis]

Not really. An IF function is great when your looking at a per row basis. But what you're looking for is more like a VLOOKUP(support.google.com/docs/answer/3093318?hl=en-GB) where you want all score in a column to be analyzed and then give back the name of a person, which is in a different column.

Million dollar question. I have this kind of If statement in Google Sheets: if(ISNUMBER(B9), INDEX(B:B,9,1), "") . Now, if it is Number in Cell B9, it will enter the number in another cell (C9), but if it is not number, it will not show anything, or it will show FALSE (if I remove ""). What I need is if it is FALSE, then don't do anything, just exit, don't show empty or FALSE, keep the previous number. So, if B9 is number 3, I want it to show up in C9 cell number 3, and it does that, but if B9 shows maybe text "home" (before it was number 3), I don't want it to show text "FALSE" or empty in C9, but keep previous number (number 3). So, essentially, exit right away after TRUE statement.
