You don't need the de() around numeric values or true and false, so
either of these would also work:
iif(condition,1,0)
iif(condition,true,false)
de() is only necessary if you provide a string value and either
evaluate(string) would produce an error or you don't want the string
to be evaluated, so this also works:
mike = true;
simon = false;
iif(condition,"mike","simon");
and would produce a value of true or false
you would then use de() if you wanted the iif() to produce the values
"mike" or "simon".
and of course you can combine them:
iif(condition,"mike",false);
