» Simplifying Formulas by Reducing the Complexity of IF Functions

Problem:

We want to create a conditional formula that will return TRUE if there is at least one number in List1 greater than the value in D1. Otherwise the formula will return FALSE.

Solution 1:

Use the following formula:
=($A$2>D1)+($A$3>D1)+($A$4>D1)>0

Solution 2:

Use the OR function as shown in the following Array formula:
{=OR($A$2:$A$4>D1)}


List1
8
2
3

Number to Compare: 20
