Welcome, my fellow spreadsheet enthusiasts! Get ready to unlock the full potential of Google Sheets with the powerful ESTENTRE function. In this article, I’ll guide you through everything you need to know about this function and how to use it effectively. So, let’s dive in!
What is the ESTENTRE Function in Google Sheets?
The ESTENTRE function in Google Sheets is a handy logical function that evaluates whether a value falls between two other values. It returns TRUE if the value is within the specified range and FALSE if it’s not. This function comes in handy when you want to check if a date falls within a specific period or validate if a value falls between specific numbers.
How to Use the ESTENTRE Formula in Google Sheets
Using the ESTENTRE formula in Google Sheets is as easy as pie. Just follow these simple steps:
- Start by typing “=ESTENTRE” in the cell where you want the result.
- Enter the value you want to compare, along with the upper and lower bounds of the range. You can either type them directly into the formula or use cell references.
- Determine whether the range includes or excludes the upper and lower bounds.
- Press Enter to see the result. If the value falls within the specified range, the formula will return TRUE. Otherwise, it will return FALSE.
Here’s the syntax of the formula:
- Value: This is the value you want to test.
- Lower Bound: This is the smallest number in the range.
- Upper Bound: This is the largest number in the range.
- Lower Bound Inclusive [Optional]: This parameter determines whether the lower bound is included in the range. By default, it’s set to TRUE, meaning it’s included.
- Upper Bound Inclusive [Optional]: This parameter decides whether the upper bound is included in the range. By default, it’s set to TRUE, meaning it’s included.
For example, the formula “=ESTENTRE(A1, 1, 10)” will return TRUE if the value in cell A1 falls between 1 and 10 (inclusive), and FALSE otherwise.
The above image showcases an example of using the ESTENTRE formula in Google Sheets. The formula returns “TRUE” because 5 falls between 1 and 10.
If you prefer using cell references to fill in the formula parameters, take a look at the screenshot below. Note that the function returns “FALSE” for 1 and 10 because the optional parameters “Lower Bound Inclusive” and “Upper Bound Inclusive” are set to FALSE, excluding them from the range.
Now that you know how to use the ESTENTRE function in Google Sheets, you can compare values efficiently and accurately. Simplify your tasks and achieve precise results with this powerful function. Feel free to explore more Google Sheets features on Crawlan.com to become a spreadsheet wizard!
