In the below example we use the TRUE excel with if function to compare the two column values with each other’s.

=IF(B28=D28,TRUE())

It will return the TRUE for matched values in column H and J and return FALSE if the value did not match in Column H and J.

Things to remember about the TRUE Function in Excel

TRUE & TRUE() both are unique.
TRUE() function is basically used with others functions.
Using TRUE without bracket gives you the same result.
For calculation purpose TRUE is a 1 and False is a 0 and these can be used for calculation also
1. TRUE+TRUE=2
2. FALSE+TRUE=1
The TRUE function is provided for compatibility with other sheets applications; it may not be needed in standard situations.
If we want to enter TRUE, or if we want to provide TRUE as a result in a true excel formula, we can just put the word TRUE directly in a excel cell or formula and Excel will returns it as the logical value TRUE as output.

For example: =IF (A1<0, TRUE ()), =IF (A1<0, TRUE)

We also need to remember that logical expressions will also return automatically TRUE and FALSE as results.
The TRUE function was first used in Microsoft Excel 2007.
