TRUE function

PRO BASIC

The TRUE function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a simple but essential tool. It's used to return the logical value TRUE, which is essentially a confirmation or positive response within your spreadsheet. When you use TRUE, it indicates that a certain condition or criteria you specified has been met. It's a key part of logical operations and decision-making within your data analysis process.

Documentation

Returns the logical value TRUE.

Syntax

TRUE()

Parameter	Description

Behavior

The TRUE function is a logical function that returns the logical value TRUE. It does not require any arguments. Here are some behavior characteristics of this function:

When you use TRUE in a formula, it will always return the boolean value TRUE.
It doesn't process any input or arguments, so it doesn't matter if cells are empty, contain text, boolean values, or even errors. It will always return TRUE.
It can be used in logical tests, comparisons, or conditions in formulas.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error should not occur with the `TRUE` function as it does not take any arguments. If you see this error, it's likely a problem with other parts of your formula.

Best practices

The TRUE function can be used directly in logical tests or conditions. However, it's often more useful to use logical expressions that return TRUE or FALSE based on specific conditions.

Avoid hardcoding TRUE in the formulas. Instead, consider using logical expressions or references to cells that contain boolean values.

Use the TRUE function to set default values in optional arguments of other functions. This can be useful when you want a function to behave in a certain way by default.

When using TRUE in logical expressions, remember that it's case-insensitive. However, it's a best practice to use uppercase to make it clear that it's a function and not a text string.

Usage

A few examples using the TRUE function.

=TRUE()              // Always returns TRUE
=IF(5>3, TRUE(), FALSE())   // Returns TRUE because the condition is met
=IF(A1="", TRUE(), FALSE()) // Returns TRUE if cell A1 is empty
