What will happen if, in an IF function, you accidentally omit the quotes from the value_if_true and value_if_false arguments as follows? =IF(C4, eligible, ineligible) Excel will look for a range named eligible or ineligible (depending on which condition was met) and either returns the value from that range or gives a #NAME? error if the named range does not exist Excel will default to putting in zero (0) for the if_value_true argument and zero (0) for the if_value_false argument when the condition is met Excel will not allow you to complete the function Excel will automatically put quotes around these for you and the function will execute without error
Excel will look for a range named eligible or ineligible (depending on which condition was met) and either returns the value from that range or gives a #NAME? error if the named range does not exist
In this nested IF function example, =IF(C4<1000,0,IF(C4<2000,2,1))*C$1 if the value in C4 is 1200, the result is 1*C$1. False True
