Not getting the Results I'm expecting with IF statement

	{articles category="Events" ordering="event-date ASC"}

{/articles}

The output of [cancelled] is "Cancelled" on the one that is set to cancelled. But it's only showing the 'else' for everyone one.

What is the value of that field? So:

[cancelled:value]

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was letting you know what [cancelled] was outputting so the if statement should be doing the first part but instead is doing the else.

{if cancelled = "Cancelled"}

I know... but use the value in the if check.
If the 'cancelled' field is for instance a checkbox where the actual value is '1', check for that.

If the value of 'cancelled' is empty for the articles that are not Cancelled, then you could simply do:

{if cancelled}

So the field is Tassos Marinos Advance Custom Field True/False field. I'm wandering if it's the field that's a problem and simply should do a checkbox.
