    Re: excel formula outputting incorrect boolean value

    D2 is less than A2
    blank cell counts as zero
    blank cell in D2 is less than 123 in A2
    blank cell in D2 Zero is not greater > than 123 in A2
    so D2>A2 is false
    change D2 to 10000
    and it becomes true

    Re: excel formula outputting incorrect boolean value

    you have not said what the results should be
    d2 is 0 or blank
    a2 is 123

    so d2 is not bigger than a2 therefor the answer is false


    what are you trying to do

    Re: excel formula outputting incorrect boolean value

    Formula b1 =IF(D1>A21,"True","False") Then copy down to rest of cells. When they are equal it is still "False" as you specified greater than >

    I attached a copy of your database with this change.
