Excel: How to Use an IF Function with 2 Conditions

You can use the following formulas to create an IF function with 2 conditions in Excel:

Method 1: Nested IF Function

=IF(C2<15, "Bad", IF(C2<20, "OK", "Good"))

Method 2: IF Function with AND Logic

=IF(AND(A2="Mavs", B2="Guard"), "Yes", "No")

Method 3: IF Function with OR Logic

=IF(OR(A2="Mavs", B2="Guard"), "Yes", "No")

The following examples show how to use each formula in practice with the following dataset in Excel:

Example 1: Nested IF Function

We can type the following formula into cell D2 to return a specific value based on the value for each player in the Points column:

=IF(C2<15, "Bad", IF(C2<20, "OK", "Good"))

We can then drag and fill this formula down to each remaining cell in column D:

Here’s what this formula did:

If the value in the Points column is less than 15, return Bad.
Else, if the value in the Points column is less than 20, return OK.
Else, return Good.

Example 2: IF Function with AND Logic

We can type the following formula into cell D2 to return “Yes” if two conditions are met for a specific player or “No” if at least one of the conditions is not met:

=IF(AND(A2="Mavs", B2="Guard"), "Yes", "No")

We can then drag and fill this formula down to each remaining cell in column D:

Here’s what this formula did:

If the value in the Team column was “Mavs” and the value in the Position column was “Guard”, then return Yes.
Else, if at least one condition is not met then return No.

Example 3: IF Function with OR Logic

We can type the following formula into cell D2 to return “Yes” if one of two conditions are met for a specific player or “No” if neither of the conditions are met:

=IF(OR(A2="Mavs", B2="Guard"), "Yes", "No")

We can then drag and fill this formula down to each remaining cell in column D:

Excel IF function with two conditions using OR logic

Here’s what this formula did:

If the value in the Team column was “Mavs” or the value in the Position column was “Guard”, then return Yes.
Else, if neither of the conditions are met then return No.
