How it works.
AND evaluates multiple conditions. It returns TRUE only if every single condition evaluates to TRUE. It is commonly nested inside the IF function to evaluate complex multi-criteria expressions.
💡 In simple terms.
Checks multiple rules. It only outputs TRUE if every single rule is met; otherwise, it outputs FALSE.
Analogy
"Think of this like a checklist for entering a club. You must be 18+ AND have a ticket. If either is missing, you can't enter!"

Best Practices
- AND is not case-sensitive. "YES" and "yes" evaluate identically if comparing strings.
- You can also check range cells for logical results (e.g. `=AND(A2:A10)`).
Common Gotchas
- If none of the logical arguments evaluate to boolean values or numerical conditions, AND returns a #VALUE! error.
