The IF Function is used when a cell can have one of two values depending on the value of another cell.  For example, a discount can be given IF a purchase is over a certain amount, in the case below 10% if over $100 but the entire amount is discounted.

A

B

Price

$70

Discount =IF(B1>100,B1*10%,0)
You Pay =B1-B2

In the case where the discount was only on the portion of the purchases OVER $100,
it would look like this:

The IF dialog box has three parameters.  They are independent - what you put into one does not affect the others, so sometimes you have to repeat yourself.

Also the following unfortunately some show only the final IF like seen on the top box not the expanded dialog box.
