    Changing default TRUE and FALSE responses in Excel Formula

    Hello,

    This is my first time posting. I am working with the following function:

    =IF(AND(H2>=80),OR(AVERAGE(H2,J2)>=85, AVERAGE(H2,L2)>=85,))
    It does what I need it to do, but I would like for the response to be "Yes" or "No" rather than TRUE and FALSE. I have not been able to figure out how to fix this myself. Does anyone have any ideas that they can give me?

    Thank you.

    Re: Changing default TRUE and FALSE responses in Excel Formula

    Maybe this regular formula:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IF(H2>=80,IF(OR(AVERAGE(H2,J2)>=85, AVERAGE(H2,L2)>=85),"Yes","No"),"No")


    Does that help?

    Re: Changing default TRUE and FALSE responses in Excel Formula

    Here's what your formula does,
    IF H2 >= 80, then if AVERAGE H2 and J2 >=85 or Average of H2 and L2 >=85 respond "True", otherwise, "False"

    Some other issues (besides the fact it's probably not doing what you want it to do)
    you have AND(H2>=80), there's only 1 argument, you don't need AND

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Thank you Ron and ChemistB. You both cleared this up for me. I felt that I was overthinking this and making it more difficult than it needed to be.

    You solved my problem!
