  IF function The IF function is one of the most popular functions in Excel, and it allows you to make logical comparisons between a value and what you expect. So an IF statement can have two results. The first result is if your comparison is True, the second if your comparison is False. For example, =IF(C2=”Yes”,1,2) says IF(C2 = Yes, then return a 1, otherwise return a 2). Simple IF examples =IF(C2=”Yes”,1,2) In the above example, cell D2 says:  IF(C2 = Yes, then return a 1, otherwise return a 2) =IF(C2=1,”Yes”,”No”) In this example, the formula in cell D2 says:  IF(C2 = 1, then return Yes, otherwise return No) As you see, the IF function can be used to evaluate both text and values. It can also be used to  evaluate errors . You are not limited to only checking if one thing is equal to another and returning a single result, you can also use mathematical operators and perform additional calculations depending on your criteria. You can also nest multiple IF functions...

  Conditional Formatting in Outlook:  Automatically change incoming message colors and fonts based on sender, subject, or recipients Conditional formatting is a way to make messages that meet defined conditions stand out in the message list by using color, fonts, and styles. You specify conditions that an incoming message should meet, such as a sender’s name or email address, and then conditional formatting is applied only to those messages. For example, a conditional rule can specify that all messages sent from your manager appear in red text in the message list. To make further changes to the body of your email messages,  change the default font or text color for email messages  . Note:   In Microsoft Outlook 2007, the  Organize  feature enabled you to create conditional text formatting rules for email messages. In Microsoft Outlook 2010 and later, conditional text formatting is now accessed in the  Advanced View Settings  dialog box. ...

  How does the XLOOKUP function work in Microsoft Excel? To explain the XLOOKUP function properly, we’ll use an example scenario. An example Excel spreadsheet contains the staff list of a small company, containing IDs, names, email addresses, and responsibilities. A dataset, such as this one, can be used as a searchable directory in Excel using an XLOOKUP formula. A search value for this formula could contain any of the values above, from an ID number to an email address. XLOOKUP can find a value (matching in full or the closest approximation) from a range of cells (or search array) and return it. To do this, a formula using XLOOKUP has a number of arguments that need to be used to create the query. Sample -2
