Let’s wrap things up with some points to be remembered. This is how we can match multiple criteria’s under Excel with the help of IF statement, AND & OR logical operators. You can select D2:D11 and then press Ctrl + D as a keyboard shortcut to be able to copy the formula across rows. Step 6: Drag the formula across cells D2:D11 so that we will have a result value, either Pass or Fail, for all the students named in column A. Press Enter key to see the output in cell D2 whether the student named “Martha” has passed the exam or not. Step 5: Add “Fail” as a value for under the IF statement to complete the formula and close the brackets to complete it. Step 4: Add the as “Pass” under the formula in cell D2 to specify if at least one of the condition gets satisfied, a student is a pass. If at least one of these two conditions is satisfied, the student will be considered as Pass otherwise, the student will be considered a Fail. This condition will first check if Marks 1 and Marks 2 are greater than or equals to 20 and 23 respectively (first AND condition) OR if not, it will check whether the Marks 1 and Marks 2 are greater than or equals to 15 and 18 (second AND condition). Use (AND(B2>= 20, C2>=23), AND(B2>=15, C2>=18)) under OR condition within IF Statement and close the bracket for OR condition. Step 3: Now, we need to add two AND conditions within this OR condition separated by a comma. Step 2: Initiate an OR condition within the IF statement as shown below: Step 1: In cell D2, initiate the formula for IF Statement by typing “=IF( Let’s try to figure this tricky criterion out with IF, AND, OR. If either one of the criteria is fulfilled, the student will be declared as Pass else, he/she will be declared as Fail. Suppose we have two criteria’s under this example:Ĭriteria 1: Column B >= 20 and Column C >= 23Ĭriteria 2: Column B >= 15 and Column C >= 18 In order to check whether the student has passed the test or he failed, we can use a combination of IF statement with AND/OR operator to combine the multiple criteria. We wanted to check whether the student has passed the exam or not.
Suppose we conduct two tests in a class of 10 students and have Marks in both tests for each student stored under column Marks 1 and Marks 2 respectively. However, with E1, it is still FALSE since not all the conditions are satisfied.Įxample #2 – Complex Criteria in Combination with IF, AND/OR Press Enter key, and you can see the output as TRUE in cell E2 since C1 and D1 have values greater than 16. Ideally, OR gives Boolean output as TRUE if at least one of the criteria is satisfied.
Step 4: In cell E2, use the OR to check how it works use the same criteria values. Since the value in cell B1 is not greater than 16, not all the criteria are satisfied. You can see with the same criteria under AND function, if we change the value under cell B1 as less than the criteria value (i.e. Step 3: Change the value in cell B1 as 12 and see how the result in cell E1 is affected.
