It returns TRUE if the expression is FALSE, and FALSE if the expression is TRUE. In simpler terms, it flips the logical value of a statement. This can be quite useful when you need to check for the opposite condition of a specific logical test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOT(logical)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><b>logical<\/b><\/td><td>The value or expression you want to negate. It should be either TRUE or FALSE or any formula or comparison that results in a logical value.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Excel NOT function is straightforward to use. You simply need to provide a logical value or expression as an argument. Here are some examples to illustrate its use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=NOT(TRUE)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will return <b>FALSE<\/b> because it negates the logical value <b>TRUE<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=NOT(FALSE)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, this formula will return <b>TRUE<\/b> because it negates the logical value <b>FALSE<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=NOT(5&gt;10)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the formula checks if 5 is greater than 10, which is <b>FALSE&lt;\/b. Applying NOT to it will return <b>TRUE<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=NOT(A2=\"Apple\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If cell A2 contains the text &#8220;Apple,&#8221; this formula will evaluate to <b>FALSE&lt;\/b. However, applying NOT will change it to <b>TRUE<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excel NOT function can be especially handy when used in combination with other logical functions or as part of more complex formulas to manipulate and analyze data effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Excel NOT function is a logical function that helps you evaluate and negate the value of a given expression.
