Trying to nail the syntax for:

IF(OR(A1="TRUE", B1="TRUE", C1="TRUE" Return "TRUE"
elseIF(AND(A1="FALSE", B1="FALSE", C1="FALSE" Return "FALSE"
else "Unknown"

The expression above =IF(OR(A10="True",B10="True",C10="True"),"TRUE",IF(AND(A10="False",B10="False",C10="False"),"FALSE","Unknown"))
works when I use anything other than "TRUE" or "FALSE". I guess that means the values are automatically converting to boolean and this formula does not like that. I cannot even replace the values as they are all look-ups. Making a hidden column to evaluate the boolean values to something else does not work either, because of the boolean values starting point...

Thank you all for your help, I am open to further ideas if any. Otherwise I will do it manually.

To explain in words: If ANY of the first 3 columns are TRUE, return "TRUE". If ALL of the first 3 columns are FALSE, return "FALSE". Any other combination should return "UNKNOWN"

CONFIG_REQ PACK_REQ ACCSY_REQ Expected Result Actual Result
Yes No No TRUE TRUE
No No No FALSE FALSE
B B UNKNOWN UNKNOWN
TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE UNKNOWN
FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE UNKNOWN
FALSE FALSE UNKNOWN UNKNOWN
