Answer: IF statements referencing an absolute value or a range of values
Yes, you can use an IF statement in Excel to achieve this. Here are the steps:
- Select the cell where you want to display the message.
- Type the following formula:
Formula:
=IF(AND(A1=-5,A1<=5),"ok","validation error")
Note: Replace "A1" with the cell reference that contains the value you want to check.
- Press Enter.
The formula checks if the value in the cell is between -5 and 5 using the AND function. If the value meets the condition, it returns "ok". If not, it returns "validation error".
You can also use absolute cell references in the formula if you want to apply it to multiple cells. For example, if you want to check the values in cells A1 to A10, you can use the following formula:
Formula:
=IF(AND(A1=-$5,A1<=5),"ok","validation error")
Note: The dollar sign ($) before the column and row references makes them absolute, so they won't change when you copy the formula to other cells.
