What would be the most effective method to reverse the value of a boolean from “true” to “false” if it currently returns “true”?
TLDR: You would want to use the if function for that.
If function to copy: {{if(VALUE = true; false; true)}}
Hypothetical situation:
You’re hosting a casual meeting and plan to serve dessert. To accommodate nut allergies, you ask guests to fill out a form indicating their nut consumption preferences. This allows you to prepare either a hazelnut or fruit version of the dessert accordingly.
Once the form is completed, all the info is automatically sent to a Google Sheet.
- If a guest answers “yes” to “Do you eat nuts?”, the “Nut allergy?” column should be marked as “FALSE.”
- Conversely, if they answer “no,” the column should be marked as “TRUE.”
As we can see in the sheet:
- Diego said he does eat nuts and therefore we know he is not allergic
- Jenna said she does not eat nuts so we know she might be allergic and will have a fruit ice cream ready for her.
What helps to reverse the ‘true’ boolean to its ‘false’ value is the if function.
If function to copy: {{if(VALUE = true; false; true)}}
