IF – CONDITIONAL
Conditional
statements
In computer science, conditional statements, conditional
expressions and conditional constructs are features of a programming
language which perform different computations or actions depending
on whether a programmer-specified condition evaluates to true or false.
Apart from the case of branch predication, this is always achieved by
selectively altering the control flow based on some condition.

What is Excel?
WHAT IS
EXCEL?
Excel is a popular spreadsheet program designed for use on a personal computer.
Although it has many applications, Excel is used primarily as a financial modeling
package for such purposes as budgeting, cash flow forecasting, sales reporting, and the
preparation of profit and loss statements.
The advantages of using a program such as Excel are immediately apparent if you have
used a strictly manual procedure to perform spreadsheet operations. Not only does the
program make it easier for you to enter information, it can save you countless hours in
calculating and recalculating information. In addition, it allows you to quickly obtain
answers to what are called "what-if" scenarios.
Excel provides three main types of modeling tools -- worksheets, charts and lists.
Worksheets
A worksheet, Excel's term for a spreadsheet, is used to store
numeric data, calculations involving that data, as well as descriptive text. The information
is arranged in columns and rows in a format similar to an accountant's ledger. Related
worksheets are saved in a workbook, which can be thought of as an electronic
binder. An example of a worksheet might be a departmental budget.
Charts
A chart is used to graphically represent the data contained in a
worksheet. For example, a pie chart could be generated to show how a budget is
allocated between different areas of expenditure.
Lists
A list, sometimes called a database, serves as an electronic filing
system. The information can be manipulated (for example, sorted and filtered) to suit a
user's specific needs. An example of a list might be a detailed listing of company
employees, including their names, addresses, titles, salaries, and so on.
