The IFERROR function is also in the family of logical functions. Discover how you can use this function to replace any error with another output that you specify!

The AND and OR functions are often used in conjunction with the IF statement. What exactly are these functions? And how can we apply them? Check out the video
6. COUNTIF & COUNTBLANK
Even though the COUNTIF function includes the word “if,” it belongs in the math function family and not the logical function family. We’re going to return to our movie database and discover how the COUNTIF and COUNTBLANK functions are an efficient and easy way to tally up specific items within a large dataset.
