Excel AND function is a logic comparison function that returns TRUE, if all specified conditions are met, and FALSE, if they're not. It In this guide, we’re going to show you how to use Excel AND function and also go over some tips and error handling methods.
Supported versions
- All Excel versions
Syntax
AND(logical1, [logical2], …)
Arguments
logical1 | The first condition or logical test. |
logical2 | Optional. Additional conditions or logic tests, up to a maximum of 255 conditions. |
Examples
Example 1
=AND(84>50,78<=100)
Example 2
=IF(AND("FIRE, FLYING"="Water","I"="I",AVERAGE({78,84,78,109,85,100})>=50),"Pass","Fail")
Tips
- Cheat sheet
Calculation | Returns |
TRUE AND TRUE | TRUE |
TRUE AND FALSE | FALSE |
FALSE AND FALSE | FALSE |
- Use the Excel AND function to extend the capabilities of other functions that use logical tests for parameters, like the IF function.
- Combine with other logical functions (OR, NOT, XOR) to generate even more complex scenarios.
- Comparison operators:
Operator | Description | Criteria Sample | Criteria Meaning |
= | Equal to | “=10000” | Equal to 10000 |
<> | Not equal to | “<>10000” | Not equal to 10000 |
> | Greater than | “>10000” | Greater than 10000 |
< | Less than | “>10000” | Less than 10000 |
>= | Greater than or equal to | “>=10000” | Greater than or equal to 10000 |
<= | Less than or equal to | “<=10000” | Less than or equal to 10000 |
Issues
#VALUE!
Excel AND function returns #VALUE! error if an argument doesn't provide a Boolean value.
