Double check to see if the Yes and No values have quotes wrapped around them!

Note that if(${field_name} > x, "Yes", "No") is not the same as if(${field_name} > x, yes, no). If we include quotes around the yes and no values, Looker will output strings and we'll lose the ability to select Hide No's From Visualization:

See how the option doesn't populate in the table calc settings? Now when we remove the quotes and use raw yesno values:

Take note of the purple/pink values! It's how you know you're doing it right.
