Using If Statements in Spreadsheets for Business Management Problems

In GCSE requirements, students must be proficient with spreadsheet software to solve 'what if' business problems. For instance, a manager wants to add a column that identifies employee managers based on their departments. By using an IF statement, the manager can automate this process. The formula would state: if the department is 'Sales', then assign 'James Dean'; otherwise, assign 'Dale Sutton'. This efficiently provides management solutions without repetitive typing, showcasing the power of conditional logic in spreadsheets.
