Perform the following steps to use the IF function:





                       Type the given
                   1   data in the Excel
                       worksheet.









                                2   Type =IF(B2>=45, "Pass", "Fail") function in the
                                    cell C2 to find the result and press the Enter key.


              Here, the IF function evaluates whether each student’s score is greater than or equal to 45, and based
              on that evaluation, the function will return either Pass or Fail as a result.

              You can use the date functions in Excel. To do so, type =TODAY() in the cell and press the Enter key
              from the keyboard.                                                             Date Function
              When you press the Enter key, the current date appears in the cell.

              We can also give the reference of a cell containing the date to the
              MONTH() function. Similarly, we can use the YEAR() and DAY()
              functions to get the year and day from a date respectively.
