The IF() function (or SI in French) is one of the most common and useful functions in data management. It allows you to check a condition and return a value based on whether the condition is true or false.
➡️ The Display Name:
➡️ The Syntax: :
➡️ The Example:
In this example, the function checks if the age is greater than 18.
If true, it will return "Adult"; otherwise, it will return "Minor".
- 1 function 🔵 : IF() is the function that checks the condition.
- 1 condition 🟣 : age > 18 is the condition being tested.
- 2 values 🟡 : "Adult" is the value returned if the condition is true, and "Minor" is returned if the condition is false.
🟰 The Expected Result:
- If the age is greater than 18, the function will return "Adult".
- If the age is less than or equal to 18, the function will return "Minor".
