If this AND that

Good Day

In cell I37 I am trying the following formula

=IF(OR(H37 = "TRUE", H37 = "FALSE"), "a", "r"), I am not getting result 'a' though cell H37 is TRUE

Thanks

OR already has a True / False built into it.

But this isn't an OR formula.

This is

IF(H37=TRUE,"a","r")

The if statement is already a True or False inquiry.

If H37 is true put 'a', if it is false put 'r'.

To expand:
What your formula is telling Excel
IF H37 is True OR False put "a" otherwise put "r"... Since the statement is 100% of the time going to be true or false, it will always put "a", and never "r".
