1 s   =IF(A1>200,23         


        

Answer 1

For the Excel compare operators (e.g. <, =, >), number values are less than text values which are less than logical values. You can use the VALUE function to convert text values to number values for number comparisons. You can use the TEXT function to convert number values to text values for text comparison.
