ELSE macro

Used with IF, ELSE.IF, and END.IF to control which functions are carried out in a macro. ELSE signals the beginning of a group of formulas in a macro sheet that will be carried out if the results of all preceding ELSE.IF statements and the preceding IF statement are FALSE. Use ELSE with IF, ELSE.IF, and END.IF when you want to perform multiple actions based on a condition. This method is preferable to using GOTO because it makes your macros more structured.

Syntax

ELSE( )

Remarks

ELSE must be entered in a cell by itself. In other words, the cell can contain only "=ELSE()".

For more information about ELSE, ELSE.IF, END.IF, and IF, and for examples of these functions, see form 2 of the IF function.
