Nested IF Statement?

I need to use the If statement Dialog Box to enter Increased as "Increased" and Decreased as "Decreased" so that text will be the result. What formula would I use and how would I type that in to accomplish this. Thank you!

  • Hello,

     

    are you referring to the dialog box that appears when you enter a formula via Formulas > Logical > If?

     

    In that dialog you need to enclose text in double quotes. 

     

    You can write the formula without the dialog, too. Just type this into a cell:

     

    =IF(B1>A1,"Increased","Decreased")

     

    does that help?
