Is it possible to make the excel IF function give me the result of a
mathematical calculation as an output?
 
Your question is rather vague, but the answer is most likely yes. It depends
on what you want to do, and how you phrase your IF statement
 
Well I mean I'm at a loss here...

The logic test section seems to be limited to answering a true or fals
question. And the logic test is always a comparison between two values
So i'm just trying to figure out if it is really possible to displa
the result of a math calculation as an output. Any help would b
greatly appreciated
 
You don't explain what you mean by *math calculation.* If the *math
calculation* was say (A5+D5)/F5 then the IF() formula could be something
like:

=IF(COUNT(A5,D5,F5)=3,(A5+D5)/F5,"")

This will show the result of the calculation only if all three cells have
values.

Post back with more information so that we can help you.
