What is the AND Function?
The AND function is categorized under Logical functions. It is used to
determine if the given conditions in a test are TRUE. For example, we can use
the function to test if a number in cell B1 is greater than 100 and less than 50.
As a financial analyst, the function is useful in testing multiple conditions,
specifically, if multiple conditions are met to make sure they all are true. Also, it
helps us avoid extra nested IFS, and the AND can be combined with the OR
function.
Formula
=AND(logical1, [logical2], …)
The AND function uses the following arguments:
1. Logical1 (required argument) – It is the first condition or logical value to be
evaluated.
2. Logical2 (optional requirement) – It is the second condition or logical value
to be evaluated.
Notes:
1. We can set up to 255 conditions for the AND function.
2. The function tests a number of supplied conditions and returns:
1. TRUE if ALL of the conditions evaluate to TRUE; or
2. FALSE otherwise (i.e. if ANY of the conditions evaluate to FALSE).
