And and OR are logical functions that can test up to 30 conditions. They are frequently combined with another function, such as IF, to create more powerful and intelligent formulae.
AND
The AND function only returns true if every condition is met. If any condition fails it returns false.
The syntax for the AND function is:
AND(logical_1, logical_2, )
| Cell C2 | Cell D2 | Function | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 50 | =AND(C2>20, D2>40) | True |
| 40 | 60 | =AND(C2>50, D2>50) | False |
| 10/05/2009 | 100 | =AND(C2>01/04/2009, D2>100) | False |
| 20 | 80 | =AND(C2<50, D2<100) | True |
OR
The OR function returns true if at least one condition is met. OR will return false only if all of the conditions fail.
The syntax for the OR function is:
OR(logical_1, logical_2, ...)
| Cell C2 | Cell D2 | Function | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 50 | =OR(C2>20, D2>40) | True |
| 40 | 60 | =OR(C2>50, D2>50) | True |
| 10/03/2009 | 100 | =OR(C2>01/04/2009, D2>100) | False |
| 20 | 110 | =OR(C2>15, C2<50, D2<100) | True |
