Using the IF Function (Single Condition)
📌 The `IF` function is the primary tool when Excel needs to return one result based on a single condition (a logical test) being true or false.
✅ The structure requires three parts: the logical test (the question), the value if true, and the value if false.
✍️ For textual results within the formula, the text must always be enclosed in double quotes (e.g., "Sí" or "No").
📊 Example check: If Age > 55, return "Sí" (Apto para jubilación); otherwise, return "No".
Using the OR Function with IF (Multiple Conditions: OR Logic)
📌 The `OR` function is used within the logical test of an `IF` statement when at least one of several conditions must be met for the result to be true.
🧩 The `OR` function itself accepts multiple logical values (e.g., condition 1 OR condition 2). It returns `TRUE` if any of its arguments are true, and `FALSE` only if all are false.
⚙️ The structure demonstrated combines them: `IF(OR(Condition 1, Condition 2), Value if True, Value if False)`.
✅ Example check: Retirement is approved if (Age > 55) OR (Years of Service > 25).
Refining Output Visualization
💡 Using the formula to output only a positive result ("Apto") and leaving the negative result blank (two empty quotes `""`) creates a cleaner visualization by only highlighting the successful cases.
➡️ If the `OR` function returns `FALSE` (neither condition is met), the formula outputs `""`, leaving the cell blank instead of displaying "No".
Key Points & Insights
➡️ Always start problem-solving in Excel by considering the `IF` function when a question requires different outcomes based on criteria.
➡️ The `OR` function is essential when verifying if one OR another criteria needs to be met, ensuring flexibility in conditions.
➡️ The next advanced topic highlighted is performing lookups using two search criteria (like VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP using multiple inputs), which will be covered in a subsequent video.
➡️ Practice is crucial; remember that what is not practiced is forgotten (a reminder provided by the video presenter).
