Question

Review the following Excel formula and choose the correct statement:

=IF( A1 > 10, "High", IF( A1 > 5,  "Medium",  "Low") )

Spaces are added to the formula above to make the text easier to read and will not affect the result.

We start by examining what the formula does step by step and how it flows through the nested IFs.
Option 1: The formula will return an error if A1 is empty or contains a non-numeric value.
- If A1 is empty, Excel treats it as 0 in comparisons, so 0 > 10 is false and 0 > 5 is also false, leading to the final "Low" result rather than an error. Therefore this option is not universally true for an empty cell. 
- If A1 contains non-numeric text, the comparison A1 > 10 may trigger a #VALUE! error rather than yielding a result, but Excel’s behavior can depend on the exact content; the statement claiming it will always return an error is too strong and not reliable for all non-numeric inputs. This makes the assertion incorrect as a blanket rule.
Option 2: If A1 contains text, the formula will always return "Low".
- This is not guaranteed. If the text cannot be coerced to a number, Excel may raise an error rather than returning a value. If Excel happens to coerce the text to a number that is not greater than 5, it could return "Low" in that edge case, but the word "always" makes this option false because the result is not guaranteed across all text inputs. 
Option 3: The formula checks if A1 is less than 5 before evaluating other conditions.
- The actual logic checks A1 > 10 first, then A1 > 5, and only then defaults to "Low". There is no explicit check for A1 < 5; the final else path is used when neither of the previous conditions hold. So this statement mischaracterizes the evaluation order and conditionals. 
Option 4: Returns "Low" if A1 is 5 or less.
- If A1 is 10 or less but not greater than 5, the first condition (A1 > 10) is false. The second condition (A1 > 5) is also false when A1 is 5 or less. Consequently, the final else part returns "Low". This behavior exactly matches the described outcome for values 5 or below and is consistent with the nested IF structure.
