If Statement

[Eyeris87]

Enter a formula in cell J4 using the IF function to it whether or not the item Beaded Earrings should go on sale. It will go on sale if its current sales rank (in cell G4) is 8^th or lower. (Hint: If the cell value is greater than or equal to 8, it will go on sale.)

So far I have =IF(

G4>="8" I'm stuck on the rest.

Thanks in advance

There is probably not enough information here for us to answer. If you were going to type in manually that the item should go on sale, instead of using a formula, what would you do?

Hello, Unfortunately I have to use a formula.

 

[Eyeris87]

How do I put a rank in the cell?

Here's the whole question:

Enter a formula in cell J4 using the IF function to it whether or not the item Beaded Earrings should go on sale. It will go on sale if its current sales rank (in cell G4) is 8^th or lower. (Hint: If the cell value is greater than or equal to 8, it will go on sale.)
a. If this condition is true, the item will go on sale. (Hint: The if_true value should be “YES”.)
b. If this condition is false, the item doesn’t need to go on sale. (Hint: The if_false value should be “-”.)

I have put an 8 in cell G4

This does not work: =IF(G4>="<8,"yes", "no",, "Go on sale")

Hi
Try
=IF(G4>=8,"sale","no")

Outcome

2			no
6			no
8			sale
9			sale
7			no
7.9			no

<colgroup><col width="64" span="4" style="width:48pt"> </colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

The argument:

=IF(G4>=8,"sale","no") is invalid. I do not understand the below. Where do I enter it? As part of the formula? Shouldn't there be dollar signs in the equation? I have "yes" for True and "-" for false

Outcome

2			no
6			no
8			sale
9			sale
7			no
7.9			no

This sounds like homework, is it?

 

[Eyeris87]

It Is, I'm referencing my book but...., still screwing up.

Enter the formula in J4 to calculate based on the rank in G4. The "sale" outcome for If_true can be changed to "Yes" and the "no" outcome for If_false can be changed to "-"
=IF(G4>=8,"Yes","-")

Col. G	H	I	J
Rank
2			-
6			-
8			Yes
9			Yes
7			-
7.9			-

<colgroup><col span="2"><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
