I'm trying to enter a formula to display text according to an IF condition. The best I can manage is something like...

=IF(myval>=minval & myval <= maxval, "OK", "Not OK")

But this appears to work exactly wrongly, displaying OK when myval is out of range and Not OK when it is in range. How do I specify the logical AND correctly? I have tried && as I have seen in questions here, and inner brackets, but these result in errors.
