Formula:

=if(A1=1,"Pass","Fail")    -- Formula

Explanation: If cell A1 is 1 - Result is "Pass" or if A1 is blank or zero then the result will be "Fail".

Let's suppose cell A1 has a value of 1, then the result will reflect "Pass"

 Let's suppose cell A1 has no value or any value except 1, then the result will reflect "Fail"

Example : 2

If you would like to see 1 as Pass and 0 as fail, please have a look formula below

=if(A1=1,"Pass",if(A1=0,"Fail",0))

Explanation:
1 - A:1 is your cell reference or your input cell.
2 - Your output must be covered by " " ("inverted commas")
3 - Last zero (0) is an indication of no value, which means if you have neither 1 nor 0 then your output will automatically give you a 0 (zero) result.


IF Formula



=if(logical test, if true, if false)

A:10 TO A:15 is the cell reference or you can say, where we have to put the input to get the final result. The image is given above, is a good example and you can easily understand all the scenarios.
