IF Function doesn't recognize TRUE
Hi,
Formula is in B1: =IF(A1="TRUE","Apples","Oranges") A1 is connected to a CheckBox in a Form. The problem: B1 always shows Oranges even if A1 says TRUE. Thanks for your time, Amy |

IF Function doesn't recognize TRUE
TRUE is a logical operator, not a value in the cell. Therefore, try
eliminating the quotation marks from the TRUE argument in your formula. You should then get the correct result. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.
