Subject: how to use true or false conditions.

(Sigh, I cannot post a reply to original article.)

Netiquette commentary: A subject line alone is rarely sufficient to
ask a question. Yours is a good example. You should add some
text to explain your question (see speculation below). There are
other reasons to repeat your question, at a minimum, in the body
of your posting.

I think the question you are asking is a fundamental one: how
would you use the true and false parts (not "conditions") of an
IF() function?

If that is you question, consider the following example. In C1,
you want one of the following values: if A1 is less than B1, then
D1; otherwise if A1 is not less than B1, then E1. That can be
written:

=if(A1 < B1, D1, E1)
