众所周知， Google 表格(Google Sheets)是存储数据的媒介。这是人们用来跟踪个人财务状况的工具，甚至可以用于多种专业目的。Google 表格(Google Sheets)很少使用的部分是其广泛的功能列表，可帮助我们分类数据并从中得出结论，其中大部分是通过编程解决的。每种编程语言中最常用的功能之一是 IF 语句，这可以通过Google Sheets复制。在本文中，我们将演示如何在 Google 表格中使用IF和嵌套 IF运算符。(Nested IF)
IF 运算符也可以在MS Excel中找到，并且工作方式类似；您根据某些条件在单元格中输入函数，并根据是否满足这些条件接收输出。嵌套 IF 语句时，您可以进行更高级和更复杂的分析。
以下是我们将在本文中介绍的所有内容的快速摘要：
- 如何在Google 表格(Google Sheets)中使用 IF 语句？
- 如何在Google Sheets中使用嵌套的 IF 语句？
- 如何使用条件格式突出显示一行？
- 如何在Google 表格(Google Sheets)中设置多个条件格式规则？
如何在Google 表格(Google Sheets)中使用 IF 语句？
在我们开始这个过程之前，让我首先解释一下 IF 语句的作用。假设一个单元格的值 = 200。在其他一些单元格中，我们应用 IF 语句，该单元格的值取决于单元格的值为 200 的值。因此，如果单元格的值高于 100，我们可能会返回值为“YES”，否则为“NO”。这是逻辑运算符的样子：
=IF（逻辑表达式，value_if_true，value_if_false）
- Logical_expression – 这是我们的条件，可以用 '=','<','>' 表示
- value_if_true – 这是逻辑表达式为真时出现的值
- value_if_false – 这是逻辑表达式为假时的值
所以，在我们上面的例子中，我们的语法是：
=IF(A1>100,"YES","NO")
输入相关操作语句后，按Enter 键(Enter)获取值。Google 表格的智能直观 UI 还提供自动填充(Autofill)服务，让您的工作更轻松。
如何在Google Sheets中使用嵌套的 IF 语句？
嵌套的 IF 语句乍一看可能有点复杂，但它们很容易理解，因为它们遵循与普通 IF 语句相同的原则。顾名思义，嵌套的 IF 函数就是 IF 函数内部有一个 IF 函数的地方。让我用一个例子来解释这些是如何工作的。我们将输入一个嵌套的 IF 表达式，它会在我们手动估算的三个中找到最大的数字。
=IF(B2>B3,IF(B2>B4,B2,IF(B4>B3,B4,B3)),B3)
让我为你分解它（如果你能在记住 IF 函数模板的同时想到它，那将会很有帮助）。首先(First)是逻辑表达式，如果B2>B3，它也检查它是否大于B4。如果是，它会打印出来。如果 B2<B4，我们检查 B4 是否大于 B3，如果是则打印它。如果 B2 不大于 B3，我们首先打印 B3。
类似地，您可以根据需要将任意数量的 IF 函数嵌套到另一个函数中，尽管这会使您的函数语句变得难以忍受。如果您想找到最高值，则无需嵌套 IF 语句，因为有MAX和MIN函数，但它还有其他几个专业目的。
如何使用条件格式突出显示一行？
您可以使用条件格式突出显示一组特定的选定行并使它们与众不同。就是这样：
- 打开Google 表格(Google Sheets)并选择要突出显示的行
- 从顶部的选项选项卡中，单击格式(Format)并进一步选择条件格式(Conditional Formatting)
- 从显示“如果设置单元格格(Format)式”的下拉菜单中，选择“自定义公式为”
- 在“值或公式”列中，输入相应的公式，然后单击完成
如何在Google 表格(Google Sheets)中设置条件格式规则？
条件格式(Formatting)可帮助用户使他们的部分数据看起来不同。Google 表格(Sheets)允许您进一步提高自定义级别，因为您可以在此处创建自己的格式规则。
- 单击(Click)格式>条件Format > Conditional Formatting
- 在右侧的对话框中，单击添加(Add)另一个规则
- 输入(Enter)输入，即应用此新规则的单元格和条件
- 按完成。
我们希望这篇文章能够让您的Google 表格(Sheets)体验更轻松一些！
How to use IF and Nested IF functions in Google Sheets
Google Sheets is known to be a medium for housing your data. It’s what people use to track their personal finances and even comes in handy for several professional purposes. A rarely used portion of Google Sheets is its extensive list of functions that help us assort our data and derive conclusions from it, much of what is solved by programming. One of the most common features used in every programming language is the IF statement, and that is something that can be replicated with Google Sheets. In this article, we will demonstrate how you can use the IF and Nested IF operators on Google Sheets.
The IF operator is also found in MS Excel and works similarly; you enter the function in a cell and based on certain conditions and receive an output depending on whether or not those conditions are satisfied. When you nest an IF statement, you’re allowed to make more advanced and complex analyses.
Here’s a quick summary of all that we will be covering in this article:
- How to use the IF statement in Google Sheets?
- How to use the nested IF statement in Google Sheets?
- How to highlight a row using conditional formatting?
- How to set up multiple conditional formatting rules in Google Sheets?
How to use the IF statement in Google Sheets?
Before we begin with the process, let me first explain exactly what it is that an IF statement does. Suppose a cell has a value = 200. In some other cells, we apply the IF statement where the value of that cell is dependent upon the value of the cell valued 200. So, if the cell is valued above 100, we may return the value ‘YES’, and ‘NO’ if not. This is what the logical operator looks like:
=IF(logical_expression, value_if_true, value_if_false)
- Logical_expression – This is our condition and can be represented by ‘=’,’<’,’>’
- value_if_true – This is the value that comes out if the logical_expression is true
- value_if_false – This is the value that comes out if the logical_expression is false
So, in our example above, our syntax would be:
=IF(A1>100,"YES","NO")
Once you’ve typed out the relevant operation statement, press Enter to get the value. Google Sheets’ smart and intuitive UI also provides an Autofill service to make your work easier.
How to use the nested IF statement in Google Sheets?
Nested IF statements may seem a little complicated at first but they’re easy to comprehend since they follow the same principle as an ordinary IF statement. As the name suggests, a nested IF function is where there is an IF function inside an IF function. Let me explain how these work with an example. We’ll enter a nested IF expression that finds the biggest number out of the three, we have manually imputed.
=IF(B2>B3,IF(B2>B4,B2,IF(B4>B3,B4,B3)),B3)
Let me break it down for you (it would be helpful if you could think of it while keeping the IF function template in mind). First is the logical expression, if B2>B3, it checks if it is greater than B4 as well. If it is, it prints that. If B2<B4, we check if B4 is bigger than B3 and print it if that’s true. If B2 isn’t greater than B3, to begin with, we print B3.
Similarly, you can nest as many IF functions into one another as you want, though that would make your function statement unbearably large. Nested IF statements are needless if you want to find the highest value since there are MAX and MIN functions for that, but there are several other professional purposes that it fulfills.
How to highlight a row using conditional formatting?
You can use conditional formatting to highlight a particular set of selected rows and make them distinctive. Here’s how:
- Open Google Sheets and select the rows you want to highlight
- From the option tabs on top, click on Format and further select Conditional Formatting
- From the drop-down that says ‘Format cells if,’ select ‘Custom Formula is’
- In the ‘Value or Formula’ column, enter the formula accordingly and click on Done
How to set up conditional formatting rules in Google Sheets?
Conditional Formatting helps users make a part of their data look different. Google Sheets allows you to take the levels of customization a bit further as you can create your own formatting rules here.
- Click on Format > Conditional Formatting
- From the dialog box to your right, click on Add another rule
- Enter the inputs i.e., cells on which this new rule would apply and the conditions
- Press Done.
We hope that this article was able to make your Google Sheets experience a little easier!
