Logical functions
In Legacy Excel, logical functions are functions that carry out logical comparisons or return a logical value (TRUE or FALSE). You can find a full list of the logical functions that are available, as well as their documentation, at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/logical-functions-reference-e093c192-278b-43f6-8c3a-b6ce299931f5. They make a lot of condition-based calculations possible in Excel.
The logical functions that we will cover in this section are as follows:

The first of these logical functions we will cover is IF.

IF is an Excel function that carries out a specified logical check and allows us to have different outputs for when the check equals TRUE and for when the check equals FALSE. It is one of the most important functions in Excel as it allows us to wrap other functions in a condition-based implementation. Think of any computation you need to do but you must factor...
