Google Sheets has many functions to offer, and one of them is the ability to use less than, greater than, and equal to. This function is essential for anyone dealing with numbers as it helps to qualify and classify particular numbers based on the criteria. Let me guide you on how to use the function.
To start with, generate some random numbers on Google Sheets. Once you have your numbers, you can sort them based on specific criteria. For instance, let’s say you want to qualify which number is less than eight and greater than or equal to two. It’s easy to do that using the ‘and’ function. You have to meet two criteria to identify the numbers.
To apply the ‘and’ function, type “and” followed by the number, then type “=2” (greater than or equal to two). Hit enter, and you will see the numbers that meet the criteria. You can classify which numbers meet the criteria and which ones don’t.
The application of this function is using ‘countif’ and ‘sumif.’ With ‘countif,’ you can count the number of cells that meet the specific criteria. To use ‘countif,’ type “countif”, then enter “true” for the criteria. You will see the count of numbers that meet the criteria.
With ‘sumif,’ you can add numbers that meet specific criteria. Type “sumif,” then input the range of the numbers you want to sum. Then input the criteria range, which is the same as the range of the numbers. Finally, enter the criteria for the sum, which is “=2” for greater than or equal to two.
Alternatively, you can use ‘countifs’ and ‘sumifs’ for multiple criteria. To use ‘countifs,’ click on the ‘countifs’ option, then input the criteria range separated by commas. Put “” and then the criteria for each range. For ‘sumifs,’ follow the same process. Type “sumifs,” then input the range of numbers and the criteria range. Add the criteria for the sum separated by commas, and you will see the result.
In conclusion, using the less than, greater than, and equal to function in Google Sheets is easy. You can use it to sort numbers based on specific criteria. You can also use ‘countif’ and ‘sumif’ to count and sum numbers that meet specific criteria. Alternatively, you can use ‘countifs’ and ‘sumifs’ for multiple criteria. Choose the approach that suits you best.
