Doesn't work for me. Returns 0.

It seems that =COUNTIF(G1,">=true") and =COUNTIF(G1,"<=true") always return 0 for any possible input from CHAR(1) to CHAR(255) so whatever it is being converted to seems completely incomparable. It seems to be acting like a NULL comparison in a database would.

For what it's worth I've changed my mind on this. I guess Excel formulae could be considered a kind of declarative programming language. I don't think it is Turing complete without the use of VBA but then neither are regular expressions - which are deemed acceptable by the SO community!

Hmm I can see the frustration. COUNTIF(A2,">=trud") and COUNTIF(A2,"<=truf") both work. COUNTIF(A2,A2) and any conceivable variant doesn't!
