We want to get TRUE as output if people are older than age 35, otherwise, it will return FALSE as output. In order to give it as a condition or statement, we are going to use the IF function.
Now, we will get the boolean expression (TRUE or FALSE) based on the given statement. For that, we need to apply the following formula.
=IF(C3>35, TRUE())
Now, click on the Enter button to execute it and get the result. In the below image, we will get the output value as “TRUE” because the given statement is satisfied.
To fill down the remaining cells, we just need to drag down the first cell. It will automatically refill the below cells one after the other.
