This is super-basic, and I know I knew this once, but I cannot resolve this and my Googling is useless.

I have a cell that determines if other conditions are present, and returning TRUE or FALSE.

Now I want to use THAT cell in Conditional Formatting (rather than using the complicated algorithm of other conditions). But I have
Excel Formula:
=$A2="FALSE"
and that doesn't work, so I tried
Excel Formula:
=$A2=0
and that doesn't work.

What am I missing?

Ayayay.
