IF and IF's

-

 


  1. IF Formula:

    • Syntax: =IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)
    • Example: =IF(A1>10, "Greater than 10", "Not greater than 10")
    • Explanation: The IF formula evaluates the logical test (A1>10). If true, it returns the specified value_if_true ("Greater than 10"); otherwise, it returns the value_if_false ("Not greater than 10").


  3. IFS Formula:

    • Syntax: =IFS(condition1, value_if_true1, condition2, value_if_true2, ...)
    • Example: =IFS(A1>10, "Greater than 10", A1=10, "Equal to 10", A1<10, "Less than 10")
    • Explanation: The IFS formula allows you to test multiple conditions and returns the corresponding value_if_true for the first true condition. In this example, it checks if A1 is greater than 10, equal to 10, or less than 10, returning the appropriate message.

  1. COUNTIF Formula:

    • Syntax: =COUNTIF(range, criteria)
    • Example: =COUNTIF(A1:A10, ">50")
    • Explanation: The COUNTIF formula counts the number of cells within the specified range (A1:A10) that meet the given criteria (greater than 50).



  4. AVERAGEIF Formula:

    • Syntax: =AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, average_range)
    • Example: =AVERAGEIF(B1:B10, "Apples", A1:A10)
    • Explanation: The AVERAGEIF formula calculates the average of cells in the average_range (A1:A10) based on the specified criteria (matching "Apples" in B1:B10).

  5. SUMIF Formula:

    • Syntax: =SUMIF(range, criteria, sum_range)
    • Example: =SUMIF(C1:C10, "Red", B1:B10)
    • Explanation: The SUMIF formula adds up values in the sum_range (B1:B10) that meet the specified criteria (matching "Red" in C1:C10).

  6. IFS Formula:

    • Syntax: =IFS(condition1, value_if_true1, condition2, value_if_true2, ...)
    • Example: =IFS(A1>10, "Greater than 10", A1=10, "Equal to 10", A1<10, "Less than 10")
    • Explanation: The IFS formula evaluates multiple conditions and returns the corresponding value_if_true for the first true condition.

  7. SUMIFS Formula:

    • Syntax: =SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, criteria_range2, criteria2, ...)
    • Example: =SUMIFS(D1:D10, A1:A10, "Apples", B1:B10, "Red")
    • Explanation: The SUMIFS formula adds up values in the sum_range (D1:D10) that meet multiple criteria in respective ranges (matching "Apples" in A1:A10 and "Red" in B1:B10).

  8. AVERAGEIFS Formula:

    • Syntax: =AVERAGEIFS(average_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, criteria_range2, criteria2, ...)
    • Example: =AVERAGEIFS(B1:B10, A1:A10, "Apples", C1:C10, "Red")
    • Explanation: The AVERAGEIFS formula calculates the average of values in the average_range (B1:B10) that meet multiple criteria. In this example, it considers rows where column A is "Apples" and column C is "Red."

  9. COUNTIFS Formula:

    • Syntax: =COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criteria1, criteria_range2, criteria2, ...)
    • Example: =COUNTIFS(A1:A10, "Apples", B1:B10, ">50")
    • Explanation: The COUNTIFS formula counts the number of cells where multiple criteria are met. In this example, it counts cells in column A where "Apples" and in column B where the value is greater than 50.

    10. Both AVERAGEIFS and COUNTIFS are versatile formulas that allow you to apply conditions to multiple ranges, providing flexibility in analyzing and summarizing data in Exce

Notes on Hiring for Data Science Teams

-
  Unicorn Myth in Hiring: Companies often seek individuals with a myriad of skills for data science roles. Ideal candidates possess domain-specific knowledge, excel in data analysis, and have strong presentation and storytelling skills. However, finding such a "unicorn" is rare, and the focus should shift to other essential qualities. Resonance with Company DNA: The key is to identify applicants who resonate with the company's values and business domain. While analytics skills can be taught, passion for the business is intrinsic and contributes significantly to productivity. Curiosity Matters: Curiosity is a top priority in hiring for a data science team. Candidates should demonstrate a broad curiosity, showing interest in various aspects of their surroundings beyond just data science. Sense of Humor: A lighthearted approach is crucial, as being too serious may hinder collaboration and creativity. A sense of humor aids in navigating challenges and fosters a positive work ...

switch functions

-
  Nested IF Function : The  nested IF  function allows you to perform tests with multiple conditions and return different values based on the results of those tests. It is called “nested” because one IF function is embedded inside another IF function. Syntax of a generic nested IF formula: =IF(condition1, result1, IF(condition2, result2, IF(condition3, result3, result4) ) ) Each subsequent IF function is embedded into the  value_if_false  argument of the previous function. SWITCH Function : The  SWITCH  function is a more compact alternative to nested IF statements. It compares an expression against a list of values and returns the result according to the first matching value. Syntax of the SWITCH function: =SWITCH(expression, value1, result1, [default or value2, result2], ... [default or valueN, resultN]) It has four arguments: expression : The value to compare against the list of values. valueN : A value com...
