IF explained
For any The Office fans out there, fasten your seatbelts. It's time for the C.R.I.M.E.A.I.D. (Crime Reduces Innocence Makes Everyone Angry I Declare) fundraising event!
In this episode of The Office, Dunder Mifflin gets broken into and robbed, prompting Michael to plan an auction to raise money for the stolen items. His goal: $1,000,000.

We can use an IF function in F2 to determine whether or not Michael meets his $1,000,000 goal!
If his goal is met, this cell will display "YES". If his goal has not been met yet, this cell will display "NO".
