Workbook Functions I-N
IF(condition, true_value, false_value)
Tests the condition and returns the true_value if condition is TRUE or false_value if condition is FALSE.
See also: AND, FALSE, NOT, OR, TRUE
INDEX(reference [,row] [,column] [,range number])
Returns the contents of a cell in a specified reference range. If there is more than one range, each reference is separated by commas and the whole reference enclosed in parentheses (e.g. (A1:C6, B7:E14)).In this case, range number refers to the range from which data is returned.

INDIRECT(reference)
Returns the contents of the cell referenced by the specified cell.

IPMT(interest rate, period, number of payments, present value [,future value] [,type])
Interest payment of an annuity for a given period based on regular payments and a fixed periodic interest rate. Present value and future value (default is 0) refer to the values which the annuity is worth currently and after all the payments have been made. Type=0 if the payments are due at the end of each period and Type=1 if they are due at the beginning.
See also: FV, PMT, PPMT, RATE
IRR(cash flow [,guess])
Internal rate of return for a series of periodic cash flows given as a reference to a range (e.g. IRR(B1:B6)). Guess (default is 10%) is the estimate of the internal rate of return.

ISLOGICAL(expression)
Returns TRUE if the expression returns a logical value and FALSE otherwise.
See also: ISBLANK, ISERR, ISERROR, ISNA, ISNONTEXT, ISNUMBER, ISREF, ISTEXT
ISNA(expression)
Returns TRUE if the expression returns the #N/A! error and FALSE otherwise.
See also: ISBLANK, ISERR, ISERROR, ISLOGICAL, ISNONTEXT, ISNUMBER, ISREF, ISTEXT
ISNONTEXT(expression)
Returns TRUE if there is a non-text value in the expression and FALSE otherwise.

ISNUMBER(expression)
Returns TRUE if the expression returns a number and FALSE otherwise.
See also: ISBLANK, ISERR, ISERROR, ISLOGICAL, ISNA, ISNONTEXT, ISREF, ISTEXT
ISREF(expression)
Returns TRUE if the expression returns a range reference and FALSE otherwise.
See also: ISBLANK, ISERR, ISERROR, ISLOGICAL, ISNA, ISNONTEXT, ISNUMBER, ISTEXT
ISTEXT(expression)
Returns TRUE if the expression text and FALSE otherwise.
See also: ISBLANK, ISERR, ISERROR, ISLOGICAL, ISNA, ISNONTEXT, ISNUMBER, ISREF
LEFT(text [,numchars])
Returns the leftmost characters in the text string. Numchars is the number of characters to return.
See also: MID, RIGHT
LEN(text)
Number of characters in the text string, spaces included.
See also: EXACT, SEARCH
LN(positive real number)
Natural (based on the constant e) logarithm.
See also: EXP, LOG, LOG10
LOG(positive real number [,base])
Logarithm of the number. Base default value is 10.
See also: EXP, LN, LOG10
LOG10(positive real number)
Base-10 logarithm.
See also: EXP, LN, LOG
LOOKUP(value, lookup range, result range)
Searches for the value in the lookup range and returns the contents of corresponding position in the result range. The sizes of both ranges have to be the same and both ranges can only contain one row or column.
See also: HLOOKUP, INDEX, VLOOKUP
LOWER(text)
Changes the characters in the specified text to lowercase.
See also: PROPER, UPPER
MATCH(lookup value, lookup range, comparison)
Compares the lookup value against values in the lookup range and returns the position of the matching value in that range. Comparison represents the type of comparison: 1 matches the largest value that is less than or equal to the lookup value, 0 matches the same value and -1 matches the smallest value that is greater than or equal to the lookup value.
See also: HLOOKUP, INDEX, LOOKUP, VLOOKUP
MAX(number list)
Largest value in the specified list of numbers. The list can be a cell range.
See also: AVERAGE, MIN
MID(text, start position, numchars)
Returns the specified number of characters in the text string, beginning at the specified start position.
See also: CODE, FIND, LEFT, RIGHT, SEARCH

Minute component of the specified time (given as serial number) as an integer between 0 and 59.
See also: DATE, DAY, HOUR, MONTH, NOW, SECOND, WEEKDAY, YEAR
MIRR(cash flows, finance rate, reinvest rate)
Modified internal rate of return for a series (given as a reference to a range)of periodic cash flows. Cash received and cash paid have positive and negative values, respectively. The order of calculation is the order in which the values appear. Finance rate is the interest rate paid on money used in the cash flow and reinvest rate is the interest rate received on money reinvested from the cash flow.

NA()
Returns the error value #N/A (not available).
See also: ISNA
NOT(logical)
Returns TRUE if logical is FALSE and vice-versa.
See also: AND, IF, OR
NOW()
Current date and time as a serial number. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the date; to the right represent the time.
