The bool (boolean) data type is supported by 2DAs. In the Excel source file a bool value may be represented by one of:
| True | False |
|---|---|
| any non-zero number | zero |
| Yes (case insensitive) | No (case insensitive) |
| any words beginning with T (such as True!) | any words beginning with F (such as False!) |
NOTE: You cannot use TRUE and FALSE because Excel converts those to a special keyword the ExcelProcessor cannot 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 use an integer for scripting purposes.
