TRUE

Returns the logical value TRUE.

Syntax:

TRUE()

The TRUE() function has no arguments, and always returns the logical value TRUE.

Example:

TRUE()

returns TRUE

NOT(TRUE())

returns FALSE

Application:

Scenario: Imagine you're managing a sales pipeline, and you want to quickly identify leads that are "High Priority" and are also "Currently Engaged" with a sales representative. You have a system where if a lead is manually marked as "High Priority" in one column, it should trigger a specific follow-up action.

Table:

	Lead ID	Lead Status	Priority	Currently Engaged	Action Required
	A	B	C	D	E
1	L001	Prospect	TRUE	Yes	Initiate Priority Follow-up
2	L002	Qualified	FALSE	Yes	No immediate action
3	L003	Prospect	TRUE	No	No immediate action
4	L004	Closed Won	FALSE	Yes	No immediate action
5	L005	Prospect	TRUE	Yes	Initiate Priority Follow-up

Explanation:

Lead ID: Unique identifier for each lead.
Lead Status: Current stage of the lead in the sales pipeline.
Priority: This is where the TRUE function can be used.
Currently Engaged: Indicates whether a sales representative is actively working with the lead.
Action Required: This is the column where we'll use a formula to determine if an action is needed.

Formula using TRUE():

In cell E1, you could use a formula like this:

IF(AND(C1=TRUE(), D1="Yes"), "Initiate Priority Follow-up", "No immediate action")

Let's break down this formula:

C1=TRUE(): This is where the TRUE concept comes into play. We are checking if the value in cell C1 (Priority) is equal to the logical TRUE.
D1="Yes": We are checking if the lead is currently engaged.
AND(C1=TRUE(), D1="Yes"): The AND function requires both conditions to be true for the overall AND function to return TRUE.
IF(AND(...), "Initiate Priority Follow-up", "No immediate action"):
- If the AND function returns TRUE (meaning the lead is both "High Priority" AND "Currently Engaged"), then the IF function will display "Initiate Priority Follow-up".
- Otherwise (if the AND function returns FALSE), it will display "No immediate action".
