The bool (boolean) data type is supported by 2DAs. In the Excel source file a bool value may be represented by one of:

  • a zero or non-zero number
  • Yes or No (case insensitive)
  • words beginning with T or F (such as True! and False!)

NOTE: You cannot use TRUE and FALSE because Excel converts those to a special keyword the binarizer can't parse properly at this time.

Note: the scripting language doesn't have a function for retrieving boolean values from a 2DA, and the behavior of Get2DAInt when retrieving a boolean is untested. It is probably safer to just use an integer for scripting purposes.
