Conditional Expressions with IF
Equations can include conditional expressions using the function IF. The
syntax of the IF function is:
IF

conditional expression

algebraic expression

algebraic expression

For example, the solver accepts the equation:
    
According to this equation, if
SALES is greater than 3000, then the
BONUS equals .02 × SALES; otherwise (“or else”), BONUS equals
.01
× SALES.
Logical Operators. Four logical operators can be used in conditional
expressions: AND, OR, XOR, and NOT.
Relational Operators. Six relational operators are available for
conditional expressions.
