About TRUE 🔗
When you need to denote a true or 'yes' value within a logical formula or condition, the TRUE function comes to the rescue. By simply calling TRUE(), you signal Excel to interpret the result as true, helping in constructing logical expressions that hinge on affirmative outcomes. This function is fundamental in scenarios where a condition must be met or acknowledged as true.
Examples 🔗
If you want to check whether a certain condition is met and return 'Yes' if it is true, you can use TRUE within an IF formula like this: =IF(A1>10, TRUE(), FALSE())
In conditional formatting to highlight cells where a specific criterion is true, you can set a rule using =TRUE() as the condition to format cells in a certain way.
Notes 🔗
The TRUE function does not require any arguments. It simply returns the logical value of TRUE. Remember that TRUE is case-insensitive in Excel, so you can type it in either uppercase or lowercase.
