Default formula help

For me this seem like rocket science I have a feeling it will take you guys 1
min

I am trying to build a football pool sheet

I would like to have a formula that will give me a number of either 0 or 1

Example
Bills VS Pats and buffalo wins
I have Larry, Bob and Tina. Each picked a team they want to win
Larry=Bills, Bob=Bills and Tina=Pats and I have they picks on the sheet
The Bills win. Yeah Bills.
So I type Bills in a cell

What I want is a formula that will check the win cell and the cell for each
person
The cell right beside the team they picked I would have the formula
I would like to have that cell show a 0 if they didn’t match the win and a 1
if they did

So Larry=1 Bob=1 Tina=0
I want to do this so that every Sunday there are multiple games so it would
allow me to add up there results to find out the winner

I am a beginner with formulas
I know I can do =EXACT(C12,E12) this will give me a TRUE and FALSE statement
But how do I change that true or false to a 0 or 1

Default formula help

Here's 3 ways of changing that TRUE or FALSE to 1 or 0 respectively:

= 1* EXACT(C12,E12)

= 0+ EXACT(C12,E12)

= -- EXACT(C12,E12)

Hope this helps.

oooh i see
i was thinking of making a formula that looked to see if one was true or
false then make the correct statement
simple answers is the best
if this is true then make it 1 if its false leave it 0
genius
