Prior to Excel 2007, the maximum was 7. From Excel 2007, the limit has been raised to 64. However, it becomes very impractical using too many nested IFs, so it is better to look for other ways where it is possible, like breaking down your formulas or using a lookup function, like VLOOKUP.

How do you create more slots in the if function on Excel?

You could use more IF functions, stringing them together or nesting them, which means put If functions inside other IF functions. You could also include other functions within the IF, like the AND function. It all depends on specifically what it is you are actually trying to do. There are different solutions for each problem. See more details about the IF function, including examples of nested IFs in the question below.

Does the IF function display one value if the specified condition is true and a different value if the condition is false on Excel?

Generally that is what happens, though you can get it to be sophisticated in how it comes to its resulting value. It is also possible to have nested IFs where the True or False may actually result not in a value but in another IF function being activated. You can also get it to activate other functions which will determine a result. See the related question below.

What is the function of the second conditional function?

A conditional function, such as the IF, is used when you have two options, like either Pass or Fail in an exam. When you have more than two options, like if an exam can have several different grading categories (Fail, Pass, Merit, Distinction), then you will need more that one conditional function, and they are nested. So the second conditional function is checking another possibility.As a general rule, you always need one less condition than the amount of options. So when there are two possibilities, you need one condition. If it is not the first option, then there is only one possible option left so it not necessary to check for the second option. If it is not pass, it must be fail so there is no need to carry out a second check to see if it is a fail. So if it is just pass or fail, and your mark is in A3, then you need one IF as follows:=IF(A3>=40%,"Pass","Fail")You are using a process of elimination. If you had four options, then you'd only need to check for three conditions, and if it is not one of the first three, then it has to be the fourth. Note too, that you don't have to check the lower and upper boundary, as the previous condition will have eliminated it.=IF(A3>=80%,"Distinction", IF(A3>=60%,"Merit", IF(A3>=40%, "Pass","Fail")))In the above, for the Merit we don't have to check if is equal 60% or more and also check if it is less than 80%, as the first condition has already checked for figures of 80% or more, so anything now of 60% or more, has to be less than 80%. Note the 3 brackets at the end, because there are 3 IFs and they are nested.
