Overview of the webinar
Many users rely on the IF function in Excel, but they’re often unaware of ways to improve the integrity of decision-making formulas. In this session, Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA, introduces the IF function and then quickly goes beyond the basics. Discover what can go awry with IF; how to future-proof the function; and explore alternatives, such as IFS, CHOOSE and seemingly unrelated alternatives like VLOOKUP, SUMIF and more. David’s contention is that if you find yourself nesting more than a couple of IF functions, there’s probably a more elegant and resilient approach you could take.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He’ll draw to your attention any differences in Excel 2013, 2010 or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
