Default What do these markings (--) do in a formula?

Yes, that's the link I was thinking of. Thanks.

The -- changes the range to which it applied into 0s and 1s. When a
condition is TRUE you get a 1, and when it is false you get a 0.
Therefore,
if both conditions are TRUE, then you have a record (1 * 1 = 1). If one
or
both conditions are FALSE then you don't have a record (0 * 0 = 0, 1 * 0 =
0,
0 * 1 = 0).

There is a great link that explains this in more detail, except I can't
find
it. Perhaps someone else can.
