What do the logical functions in Microsoft Excel do?

Answer 1

Logical functions compare things and help Excel to make decisions. They generally return True or False values. The most important and commonly used one is the IF function. The other functions are often used in conjunction with it.

Answer 2

Logical functions are ones used for making comparisons and then using these to get the spreadsheet to do calculations. Logical functions result in TRUE or FALSE values. Some of the logical functions include:

IF

TRUE

AND

OR

NOT

FALSE

Answer 3

It usually means making some comparison, that will result in true or false. A classic example is when you are comparing the mark someone got in an exam to the mark needed to pass. So either it is good enough to pass or not. It results in a true or false situation. So for example, the mark was in cell A2 and the pass mark is 40, you could use an IF function to show if they have passed or not. The first part is the logical test, as follows:

=IF(A2>=40,"Pass","Fail")

The logical test will check if the mark is greater than or equal to 40. If it is, or in other words if it is true, then it prints the word Pass, otherwise it will print the world Fail.
