TRUE Function & IF Function

Generally, the only time this function is used is within an IF Function to output the BOOLEAN value TRUE.

It’s important to note, that the Boolean value TRUE is different from a text string “TRUE”.

First, Excel treats TRUE = 1 and FALSE = 0.

By multiplying these Boolean values with a result, you can output the TRUE if condition is true or FALSE if otherwise.

=IF(C3>=50, TRUE())

TRUE 02

Also, these Boolean values can be fed directly into an IF Statement

=IF(B2>=50, TRUE)

TRUE 03

TRUE Function & NOT Function

The TRUE Function can also be used with the NOT Function.

=IF(NOT(B2<=50), TRUE)

TRUE 04
