If Function

The IF function checks whether a condition is met, and returns one value if TRUE and another value if FALSE.

The IF function returns Correct because the value in cell A1 is higher than 10.

And Function

The AND Function returns TRUE if all conditions are true and returns FALSE if any of the conditions are false.

1. Select cell D2 and enter the following formula.

The AND function returns FALSE because the value in cell B2 is not higher than 5. As a result the IF function returns Incorrect.

Or Function

The OR function returns TRUE if any of the conditions are TRUE and returns FALSE if all conditions are false.

1. Select cell E2 and enter the following formula.

The OR function returns TRUE because the value in cell A1 is higher than 10. As a result the IF function returns Correct.
