How to Use the IF Function in Excel 2007 With Absolute References


1. Enter the 'IF' formula into a cell of your choosing, following the format '=IF(comparison,true_value,false_value)'. As an example, to test if cell A1 is zero, you might enter '=IF(A1=0,'zero','not zero')'. This solely uses relative references.
2. Add a dollar sign in front of the cell column letter to prevent the column reference from changing, but allow the row number to change. In the example, it would look like '=IF($A1=0,'zero','not zero')'. This uses an absolute reference for the column, but a relative reference for the row.
3. Add a dollar sign in front of the cell row number to prevent the row reference from changing, but allow the column letter to change. In the example, it would look like '=IF(A$1=0,'zero','not zero')'. This uses an absolute reference for the row, but a relative reference for the column.
4. Add a dollar sign in from of both the cell reference's column letter and row number to prevent either from changing. In the example, it would look like '=IF($A$1=0,'zero','not zero')'. This solely uses absolute references. No matter where you copy and paste the formula, it will check whether cell A1's value is zero.

How to Use Excel's TRUE Function


1. Learn the syntax for TRUE: it is TRUE(). This function does not require any arguments. Similarly FALSE() always evaluates to FALSE.
2. Use TRUE with the IF function. TRUE might be used for testing purposes to force a certain value to be returned. For example, consider the IF statement: IF (logic_test;true_value;false_value). If logic_test evaluates to TRUE, true_value is returned, otherwise false_value is returned.
3. Look at the following IF statement:IF (TRUE();'is true';'is false')This IF statement will always return the first value. This might be useful during testing if we were not sure what value was being returned.
4. Examine the use of TRUE() with the following AND function:AND (condition1;condition2)AND returns TRUE only if all of its arguments evaluate to TRUE. If during testing we were not sure what condition1 evaluated to, we might substitute TRUE() for condition2 thus:AND (condition1;TRUE())If this AND statement returned TRUE, we would know that condition1 was true.
5. Test an OR function with TRUE(). The statement
OR(condition1:condition2;...) returns TRUE if any condition is TRUE and returns FALSE if all conditions are FALSE. Assume this OR is returning FALSE, and we need it to return TRUE for testing purposes. We could temporarily change one of the conditions to TRUE().
