The Excel AND function is a logical function used to require more than
one condition at the same time. AND returns either TRUE or FALSE. To
test if a number in A1 is greater than zero and less than 10, use
=AND(A1>0,A1<10). The AND function can be used as the logical test
inside the IF function to avoid extra nested IFs, and can be combined
with the OR function.
The OR function is a logical function to test multiple conditions at the
same time. OR returns either TRUE or FALSE. For example, to test A1
for either "x" or "y", use =OR(A1="x",A1="y"). The OR function can be
used as the logical test inside the IF function to avoid extra nested IFs,
and can be combined with the AND function
 The Excel NOT function returns the opposite of a given logical or

value.
 Examples

The MAX function ignores empty cells.

The MAX function in current versions of Excel accepts up to 255 arguments. If arguments
contain no numbers, MAX returns 0.
Arguments can be provided as numbers, names, arrays, or references that contain
numbers.
The MAX function ignores TRUE and FALSE values, and numbers entered as text, unless
they are typed directly into the list of arguments.
The MIN function ignores empty cells.
The MIN function in current versions of Excel accepts up to 255 arguments. If arguments
contain no numbers, MIN returns 0.
Arguments can be provided as numbers, names, arrays, or references that contain
numbers.
The MIN function ignores TRUE and FALSE values, and numbers entered as text, unless they
are typed directly into the list of arguments.
The default for order is zero (0). If order is 0 or omitted, number is ranked against the
numbers sorted in descending order: smaller numbers receive a higher rank value, and the
largest value in a list will be ranked #1.
If order is 1, number is ranked against the numbers sorted in ascending order: smaller
numbers receive a lower rank value, and the smallest value in a list will be ranked #1.
It is not necessary to sort the values in the list before using the RANK function.
In the even of a tie (i.e. the list contains duplicates) RANK will use the lower rank value for
each set of duplicates.

COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<"&B1) // count cells less than B1

COUNTIF(A1:A10,100) // count cells equal to 100
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,">32") // count cells greater than 32
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"jim") // count cells equal to "jim"

SUMIF(D6:D10,">100") // values > 100

=SUMIF(B6:B10,"Jim",D6:D10) // Rep = Jim
=SUMIF(C6:C10,"ca",D6:D10) // State = CA
SUMIF(D5:D9,">"&G4) // sum if greater than G4
SUMIF(B5:B9,"<>red",C5:C9) // not equal to "red"
=SUMIF(B5:B9,"<>blue",C5:C9) // not equal to "blue"
=SUMIF(B5:B9,"<>"&E7,C5:C9) // not equal to E7
SUMIF(B5:B9,"<"&DATE(2019,3,1),C5:C9)
=SUMIF(B5:B9,">="&DATE(2019,4,1),C5:C9)
=SUMIF(B5:B9,">"&E9,C5:C9)
SUMIF(B5:B9,"mi*",C5:C9) // begins with "mi"
=SUMIF(B5:B9,"*ota",C5:C9) // ends with "ota"
=SUMIF(B5:B9,"????",C5:C9) // contains 4 characters
RAND calculates a new value each time the worksheet is calculated. To stop random
numbers from being updated, copy the cells that contain RAND to the clipboard, then use
Paste Special > Values to convert to text.
To get a random number that doesn't change when the worksheet is calculated, enter
=RAND() in the formulas bar and then press F9 to convert the formula into its result.
To generate a set of random numbers in multiple cells, select the cells, enter RAND() and
press control + enter.
To generate a random number between a and b, use this formula: RAND() * (b - a) + a
Use the RANDBETWEEN function to get a random integer between bottom and top. For
example, =RANDBETWEEN(1,50) might generate the number 28

RANDBETWEEN calculates a new value each time the worksheet is calculated. To stop
random numbers from being updated, copy the cells that contain RANDBETWEEN to the
clipboard, then use Paste Special > Values to convert to text.

When function_num is between 1-11, SUBTOTAL includes values that are hidden
When function_num is between 101-111, SUBTOTAL excludes values that are hidden
In filtered lists, SUBTOTAL always ignores values in hidden rows, regardless of
function_num.
SUBTOTAL ignores other subtotals that exist in references are ignored to prevent double-
counting
SUBTOTAL is designed to work with vertical data values arranged vertically. In Horizontal
ranges, values in hidden columns are always included.
The AND function is used to apply more than one condition at the same time, up to 255
conditions. Each logical condition (logical1, logical2, etc.) must return TRUE or FALSE, or be
arrays or references that contain logical values.
Examples
To test if the value in A1 is greater than 0 and less than 5, use the following formula:
=AND(A1>0,A1<5)
You can embed the AND function inside the the IF function. Using the above example, you
can supply AND as the logical_test for the IF function like so:
=IF(AND(A1>0,A1<5), "Approved", "Denied")
This formula will return "Approved" only if the value in A1 is greater than 0 and less than 5.

You can combine the AND function with the OR function. The formula below returns TRUE
when A1 > 100 and B1 is "complete" or "pending":
=AND(A1>100,OR(B1="complete",B1="pending"))
See more examples of the AND function in formulas below.

Notes
The AND function is not case-sensitive.
The AND function does not support wildcards.
Text values or empty cells supplied as arguments are ignored.
The AND function will return #VALUE if no logical values are found or created during
evaluation.

Use the OR function to test multiple conditions at the same time, up to 255 conditions
total.
For example, to test if the value in A1 OR the value in B1 is greater than 75, use the
following formula:
=OR(A1>75,B1>75)
OR can be used to extend the functionality of functions like IF. Using the above example,
you can supply OR as the logical_test for an IF function like so:
=IF(OR(A1>75,B1>75), "Pass", "Fail")
This formula will return "Pass" if the value in A1 is greater than 75 OR the value in B1 is
greater than 75.

Array form
If you enter OR as an array formula, you can test all values in a range against a condition.
For example, this array formula will return TRUE if any cell in A1:A100 is greater than 15:
={OR(A1:A100>15}
Notes:

Each logical condition must evaluate to TRUE or FALSE, or be arrays or references that
contain logical values.
Text values or empty cells supplied as arguments are ignored.
The OR function will return #VALUE if no logical values are found
Use the NOT function to reverse a value or logical argument:

When logical is FALSE, NOT returns TRUE.

When logical is TRUE, NOT returns FALSE.
A common use case for NOT is to reverse the behavior of another function. For example, If
the cell A1 is blank, then the formula =ISBLANK(A1) will return TRUE. NOT can be used to
reverse this result to FALSE like this:

=NOT(ISBLANK(A1))
In essence, by adding NOT, you are able to create a formula that behaves like ISNOTBLANK,
which doesn't exist in Excel.
