Common Mistakes
- ✕ Forgetting the default TRUE condition. Unlike nested IFs, IFS returns an #N/A error if no conditions are met. Always add a final conditions that catches everything else.
Best Practices
- ✓ Add TRUE as the final condition. Use TRUE as your last test with a default value (e.g., TRUE, "Other") to handle cases that don't match any previous criteria.
- ✓ Format with Alt+Enter. Use Alt+Enter to break each condition onto its own line within the formula bar for much better readability.
