Excel Dsi-plays 1/0 instead of True False

How do I get this formula to display True False instead of 1/0?

=A1=B1

I do not need additional, more complicated formuals. I can come up with those on my own.

What I'm looking for is the reason I get 1/0 instead of true/false. It works on other tabs in the spreadhseet and in other workbooks as expected but not on this one tab.

I've tried Text to Columns and other formatting options. I know this is setting related, I just don;t know how to fix it.

    Hi,

    It's a setting. I don't have Excel 365 but on mine it's

    File _ Options _Advanced and scroll down and un-check 'Transition Formula Evaluation'.

    You should also un-check 'Transition formula entry.

    Thanks, it's one of the trivial bits of info that remain in my head from when my company transitioned from Lotus 123 to Excel.

    Thank you, but that does not answer my question. I specifically mentioned that I was not looking for additional formulas. It has to be a formatting issue that needs to be changed.
