It's nice to use TRUEs and FALSEs in simple calculations (such as add and

FALSE cells 0 - although it is strange that =SUM treats them all as 0.
Does anyone know a way of formatting logical cells to actually display 1 for
TRUE and 0 for FALSE?
Obviously one could put together a macro or UDF that physically converted
these values but I would ideally like some kind of Excel format.
The number formats only apply to cells that contain numbers.
If you want to display 1 or 0, you would have to convert the logical results to
numbers, perhaps by preceding your formula with a double unary.
e.g. =--(your_formula_that_returns_TRUE/FALSE)
