I have written tons of advanced Google Sheets tutorials that covering almost all important functions in Google Sheets. This time I am with a basic tutorial for beginners. Here I’m going to explain to you how to use percentage value in logical IF in Google Sheets. For example, if a cell contains a value 80%, in another cell, I want an IF formula to return TRUE otherwise FALSE.
Hope you already know the use of Logical IF in Google Doc Spreadsheets. If not, here are some tutorials that take you from basic to advanced level use of IF function.
Basic to Advanced Tutorials on IF Logical Function in Google Doc Spreadsheet
1. How to Use IF Function in Google Sheets
3. How to use IF, OR, AND together in Google Sheets
The above three tutorials contain all the necessary information on the use of IF function such as tips, tricks, and screenshots to make you a pro in logical test. Now let us see how to use percentage value in Logical IF in Google Sheets.
Example of the Use of Percentage Value in Logical IF in Google Sheets
There are two steps that you can follow to include a percentage figure in the logical test. Here are that tips.
Example:
I have a price list of books, a long list, similar to the above, containing the book details and available discounted price in Column D. Wherever the discount offered is more than or equal to 50%, I wish to order that books.
You can use an IF logical function to mark such books with a text “Place the Order” in column E. Here you can use percentage value in logical IF in Google Sheets as below.
=if(D2>=50%,"Place the Order","")
You can apply this formula in Cell E2 and then copy and paste it to down. Otherwise, you can simply opt an ArrayFormula in Cell E2, that would automatically expand to down.
=ArrayFormula(if(D2:D>=50%,"Place the Order",""))
As I have told you there is one more method to include percentage figure in IF. You can use the formula as below to test percentage value in IF.
=ArrayFormula(if(D2:D>=0.5,"Place the Order",""))
Here instead 50%, I’ve used 0.5. If you want to test 25%, the value in the formula would be 0.25. That’s all. Enjoy.
