TRUE values represent numeric values. We want to know if this result contains any TRUE values, so we use the double negative operator (–) to force the TRUE and FALSE values to 1 and 0 respectively. This is an example of boolean logic, and the result is an array of 1’s and 0’s: We use the SUMPRODUCT function to sum the array: Any sum greater than zero means at least one number exists in the range, so we use “>0” to force a final result of TRUE or FALSE.
