IF statement that execute a different calculation based on cell content.

I'm working on a project that requires me to "speed up" or "slow down" a value based on whether the employee is not meeting, meeting or exceeding an expected goal.

To make it easier (for me) I've already entered a formula that converts values that are less than 100% to "FALSE" and values that are > or = to 100% to "TRUE".

But what I cant figure out is how to add 1 cell to another if the answer is "FALSE" and subtract 1 cell from another if the answer is "TRUE".

I thought that entering the IF criteria: $AJ118 = FALSE then entering the formula if the criteria is true and what formula it should execute if the criteria is not true, but it still only calculates it if it's false.

=IF($AJ$118 = FALSE, (M122+AL122), (M122-AL122))

Thoughts?

Without a file it is hard to figure out the problem. That being said the question I have is in the cell AJ118 does it have FALSE or "FALSE" as the value? if it is the later then remove the quotation marks.

I included the formula that is currently entered. It does not have quotes (I've made that mistake before). =IF($AJ$118 = FALSE, (M122+AL122), (M122-AL122))
It'll take me a while to dumb down a version of the workbook since it is confidential.
