I want to add a logical function to the calculated field but I don't seem

If you are referring to a text value like

=if(field2="name",

then you can't since all the text values are seen as zero in a calculated
field. AFAIK the only way is to add the if function to the source data

There are limits on the functions you can use but IF is ok:
=IF(Sales0,PROFIT/SALES,0)
