A combination of the 'if' function with the 'and' function produces a great method of performing calculations based on multiple criteria.

1. COMBINING ‘IF’ WITH ‘AND FOR CALCULATIONS IN EXCEL BY familycomputerclub.com http://www.familycomputerclub.com

2. The ‘if’ function combined with ‘and’ checks whether all conditions specified are true. If that is the case it assigns a certain value to the calculation. If all or any one criteria is not true, it assigns a different value to the calculation. In our case we have calculated the House Rent Allowance or HRA based on 3 criteria of designation, location and salary. http://www.familycomputerclub.com

6. In the combination of ‘IF’ with ‘AND’ all conditions specified must be TRUE for the HRA to be 70% of salary. If even one of the conditions of designation, location or salary is not true, the HRA is 50% of salary. http://www.familycomputerclub.com
