If the last value of Period is less than the number of periods specified in the Parameters worksheet, increment the Period value by 1, otherwise blank the cell(i.e. "").
What does this mean in spreadsheer syntax for excel using the IF function
To implement this condition using the IF function in Excel, follow these steps:
1. Open your Excel worksheet and navigate to the cell where you want to apply this condition.
2. Enter the following formula in the cell:
```
=IF(<last value of Period> < <number of periods>, <last value of Period> + 1, "")
```
Replace `<last value of Period>` with the cell reference that contains the last value of the Period and `<number of periods>` with the cell reference that contains the specified number of periods from the Parameters worksheet.
For example, if the last value of Period is in cell A1 and the number of periods is in cell B1, the formula would be:
```
=IF(A1 < B1, A1 + 1, "")
```
This formula will check if the last value of Period is less than the specified number of periods. If true, it will increment the Period value by 1; otherwise, it will return a blank cell.
