Simple IF statement does not work. Does not recognize the numerical value 0.00

Very simple IF statement refuses to see the value 0.00 in the cell H30. Consistently returns "Caution" I have tried formatting the value in H30 in different ways, i.e, 0.00 or simple number 0 but nothing makes a difference. Please help, as this is driving me crazy because it must be something so simple.

=IF(H30=0,"Reconciled", "Caution")

Does H30 contain a formula? If so, perhaps that formula returns a value slightly different from 0.

Try

=IF(ROUND(H30,2)=0,"Reconciled","Caution")
