How to Check if a Cell is Greater Than

We can use the IF Function to check if a cell has a value that is greater than the specified criteria. The IF function returns TRUE if the condition is met and FALSE if otherwise. The steps below will walk through the process.

Figure 1: How to Check if a Cell is Greater Than

Syntax

= IF(logical_test,[value_if_true],[value_if_false])

Formula

=IF(C4>1000,"Pass","Fail")

Setting up the Data

  • We will set up the data by inputting the WEIGHT into Column A
  • We will input the cost per kg into Column B
  • Column C contains the result of the multiplied values in Column A with Column B
  • Column D is where we want the formula to return the result if the cells in Column C are greater than 1000

Figure 2: Setting up the Data

  • We will press the enter key

Figure 3: Result for Cell D4 Indicating it is Less Than 1000

  • We will double-click on the fill handle (the small plus sign at the bottom right of Cell D4) and drag down to copy the formula into the other cells
