Default Boolean 0/1 instead of True/False

You have a column of TRUE or FALSE , say in B1:B1000 . TRUE is 1 and FALSE
is 0, so
=SUM(B1:B1000)
will sum all the TRUEs. Or did I misunderstand something ?

Thanks Harald,
Your formula works, but it doesn't solve my problem (yet). I have a list

of
1000 true or false values in one column and I need to sum all the true
values. And I may not use countif or sumif etc because of linearity

problem.
I may use count and sum though.
I tryed your solution adapting it and using sumproduct() and putting all

1's
in the second array. Alas that didnt work.
Any other ideas most welcome.
Thanks
Tony

TRUE is 1 and FALSE is 0, try it in any calculation, as in

I am using Solver which requires expresions to be linear. In other

words
Excel Solver does not allow any IF, COUNTIF or other nonlinear

functions.
I
want to build a model which includes logical expresions (True/False)

results,
and be able to sum the true values. So I want (1/0) instead of

(True/False).

So my question is how can I set a cell to be boolean 1/0 ?
Thanks
