Chapter 9. Logical Functions

This chapter explains how to use the logical functions such as NOT(), AND(), and OR() in Microsoft Excel. Table 9-1 lists all the logical functions. Other functions, such as TRUE() and FALSE(), are less frequently used. All of these functions return logical values or use them as an integral part of the function. The IF() function evaluates logical expressions and implements appropriate branches. Comparison operators (=, <, >, <=, >=, and <>) are important when evaluating arguments. The IFERROR() function was introduced in Excel 2007.
