Excel If Formula - Generic Error Message

Question

I'm dumbfounded as to why the if formulas in my excel work books don't work. Something simple as =if(F2=0, TRUE, FALSE) throws a generic error "There's a problem with this formula." Not sure where to turn in regards to this. Column H is formatted as General.

Answer 1

Start writing the formula and Excel will show you the correct format. In the case below, it is using ; for divisors. In your case it could be , :

Answer 2

You need to specify that you want to return a text value by using speech marks

=if(F2=0, TRUE, FALSE)

Should be

=if(F2=0, "TRUE", "FALSE")
