You have 2 minutes to solve this Excel problem.

You have the following data:


+----------+--------+
| Employee | Sales |
+----------+--------+
| John | 12,000 |
| Sarah | 18,000 |
| Mike | 15,000 |
| David | 20,000 |
| Alice | 10,000 |
+----------+--------+


How would you return "High Performer" if sales are greater than or equal to 18,000, "Average Performer" if sales are between 12,000 and 17,999, otherwise return "Low Performer"?

๐— ๐—ฒ: Challenge accepted! ๐Ÿ’ช

=IFS(
C2>=18000,"High Performer",
C2>=12000,"Average Performer",
TRUE,"Low Performer"
)


๐Ÿ’ก Explanation:
The IFS() function checks multiple conditions in sequence and returns the result for the first condition that evaluates to TRUE.

โ€ข If sales are 18,000 or more, it returns "High Performer".
โ€ข If sales are 12,000 or more, it returns "Average Performer".
โ€ข Otherwise, it returns "Low Performer".

This challenge tests your understanding of:
โœ… IFS()
โœ… Logical Functions
โœ… Multiple Conditions
โœ… Data Categorization

๐ŸŽฏ Expected Output Example


Employee: John
Sales: 12,000
Performance: Average Performer

Employee: Sarah
Sales: 18,000
Performance: High Performer

Employee: Mike
Sales: 15,000
Performance: Average Performer

Employee: David
Sales: 20,000
Performance: High Performer

Employee: Alice
Sales: 10,000
Performance: Low Performer


๐Ÿš€ Bonus (Compatible with Older Excel Versions)

=IF(C2>=18000,
"High Performer",
IF(C2>=12000,
"Average Performer",
"Low Performer"))


Nested IF() functions provide the same result and work in Excel versions that don't support IFS().

๐Ÿš€ Tip for Excel Job Seekers:
Logical functions are heavily used in reporting and dashboards. Make sure you're comfortable with:

โ€ข IF()
โ€ข IFS()
โ€ข AND()
โ€ข OR()
โ€ข IFERROR()
