The XOR function is a premade function in Google Sheets, which returns TRUE or FALSE based on two or more conditions
The XOR function is a premade function in Google Sheets, which returns TRUE or FALSE based on two or more conditions.
Note: The XOR function is often used together with the IF function.
It is typed =XOR
:
=XOR(logical_expression1, [logical2_expression, ...])
The conditions are referred to as [logical_expression1]
, [logical_expression2]
, and so on.
The conditions can check things like:
>
<
=
For two conditions, you can think of the XOR function as: "either this or that, but not both"
Check if the Pokemon type is either Fire type OR has HP less than 60, but not both:
The function returns "TRUE" or "FALSE".
Example XOR function, step by step:
D2
=XOR
B2="Fire"
,
C2<60
Note: You can add more conditions by repeating steps 5-6 before hitting enter.
The XOR function returns "TRUE" if an odd number (1,3,5,..) of conditions are TRUE.
Since the value in cell B2
is not "Fire" the first condition is FALSE.
Since the value in cell C2
is less than 60 the second condition is also FALSE.
For two conditions, only one condition should to be TRUE for the XOR function to return TRUE.
Note: Text values needs to be in quotes: " "
The function can be repeated with the filling function for each row to perform the same check for each Pokemon:
Now, each row has a check for Fire Type or HP less than 60, but not both:
For example:
Combining the XOR function with an IF function lets you check multiple conditions for the IF function:
Note: The IF function lets you specify the return values.
The IF function is typed =IF
and has 3 parts:
=IF(logical_expression, value_if_true, value_if_false)
The XOR function takes the place of the logical_expression
condition.
Here, the IF function returns "Yes" or "No".
Example XOR function as the condition for IF function, step by step:
C2
=IF
XOR
B2="Fire"
,
C2<60
),
"Yes"
for when just one condition is TRUE,
"No"
for when both are FALSE, or TRUE at the same time)
and hit enterThe function can be repeated with the filling function for each row to perform the same check for each Pokemon:
Now, each row has a check for Water Type or Defense greater than 60, but not both:
For example:
function copyFormulas(elementId){ /* Get the text field */ var copyText = document.getElementById(elementId); /* Select the text field */ copyText.select(); copyText.setSelectionRange(0, 99999); /* For mobile devices */ /* Copy the text inside the text field */ navigator.clipboard.writeText(copyText.value) .then(() => { alert('Range copied to clipboard.\nIt can now be pasted into the Google Sheets spreadsheet.') }) .catch((error) => { alert(`Copy failed! ${error}`) }) }
