Description
The Excel AND function is a logical function that is used to check multiple conditions at the same time. AND returns TRUE if all conditions evaluate TRUE, otherwise it returns FALSE. AND is often used inside the IF function or combined with the OR function.
Syntax
AND( logical1, [logical2], … )
Arguments
logical1 – First condition to evaluate
logical2 – [Optional] Second condition to evaluate
Return value
TRUE if all conditions evaluate TRUE. Otherwise FALSE.
How to use the AND function in Excel
Use the AND function to check if multiple conditions are TRUE at once.
To test if the value in A1 is greater than 20 and smaller than 30, use the following formula:
= AND(A1>20,A1<30)
A common use case of the AND function is testing multiple conditions inside the IF function. For the above example, you can embed the AND function as the logical test for the IF function:
The AND function can be easily combined with the OR function. The formula below returns TRUE if A1 > 50 and B1 equals “Done” or “In Progress”:
Additional Notes
If you supply text values or empty cells as argument they will be ignored.
Be careful: If no logical values are found the AND function will return a #VALUE error.
