In this section, we have explained about commonly used logical function IF with different operators like >, AND, OR, NOT etc. You can see those different functions under FORMULASLOGICAL.
The IF Function has three arguments Logical_Test, Value_If_True, Value_If_False. In the formula, these three arguments are separated by COMMAS.
Argument 1 - Logical Test: What has to be tested?
Argument 2 - Value_If_True: If the tested condition returns a value TRUE, what has to be done?
Argument 3 - Value_If_False: If the tested condition returns a value FALSE, what has to be done

How to use IF in DATE Function?
Formula =IF(DAYS(2/16/2015, 2/16/2014) >= 365, "Senior", "Junior")
DAYS(2/16/2015, 2/16/2014) >= 365: In the first argument, the formula checks whether difference between those two days is greater than or equal to 365.
LOGICAL.
