Hello,

I have a column where cells are populated with text TRUE or FALSE.
What formula can I use to check if the cell text content in TRUE or FALSE?
I tried IF(A1="TRUE","TRUE",IF(A1="FALSE","FALSE")) but it returns FALSE even when the cell text content is TRUE.

Thanks.
 
The values are centred it looks like they're already Boolean and not text.

What happens when you do
Excel Formula:
=ISLOGICAL(A1)
When I use your formula, it returns TRUE for all of them.

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
An alternative to what I posted previously is to use Trim:
Excel Formula:
= IF(TRIM(A1)="TRUE","TRUE",IF(TRIM(A1)="FALSE","FALSE","NA"))
