Use the NOT function, one of the logical functions, when you want to make sure one value is not equal to another.

Example

Examples of the NOT function to reverse arguments.  E.G. =NOT(1+1=2)

The NOT function reverses the value of its argument.

One common use for the NOT function is to expand the usefulness of other functions that perform logical tests. For example, the IF function performs a logical test and then returns one value if the test evaluates to TRUE and another value if the test evaluates to FALSE. By using the NOT function as the logical_test argument of the IF function, you can test many different conditions instead of just one.

Syntax

NOT(logical)

The NOT function syntax has the following arguments:

  • Logical    Required. A value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.

Remarks

If logical is FALSE, NOT returns TRUE; if logical is TRUE, NOT returns FALSE.

Examples

Here are some general examples of using NOT by itself, and in conjunction with IF, AND and OR.

Examples of NOT with IF, AND and OR functions

Formula

Description

=NOT(A2>100)

A2 is NOT greater than 100

=IF(AND(NOT(A2>1),NOT(A2<100)),A2,»The value is out of range»)

50 is greater than 1 (TRUE), AND 50 is less than 100 (TRUE), so NOT reverses both arguments to FALSE. AND requires both arguments to be TRUE, so it returns the result if FALSE.

=IF(OR(NOT(A3<0),NOT(A3>50)),A3,»The value is out of range»)

100 is not less than 0 (FALSE), and 100 is greater than 50 (TRUE), so NOT reverses the arguments to TRUE/FALSE. OR only requires one argument to be TRUE, so it returns the result if TRUE.

Sales Commission Calculation

Here is a fairly common scenario where we need to calculate if sales people qualify for a bonus using NOT with IF and AND.

Example of calculating a sales bonus with IF, AND, and NOT.  Formula in cell E14 is =IF(AND(NOT(B14<$B$7),NOT(C14<$B$5)),B14*$B$8,0)

  • =IF(AND(NOT(B14<$B$7),NOT(C14<$B$5)),B14*$B$8,0)IF Total Sales is NOT less than Sales Goal, AND Accounts are NOT less than the Account Goal, then multiply Total Sales by the Commission %, otherwise return 0.

Purpose 

Reverse arguments or results

Usage notes 

The NOT function returns the opposite of a given logical or Boolean value. Use the NOT function to reverse a Boolean value or the result of a logical expression.

  1. When given FALSE, NOT returns TRUE.
  2. When given TRUE, NOT returns FALSE.

Example #1 — not green or red

In the example shown, the formula in C5, copied down, is:

=NOT(OR(B5="green",B5="red"))

The literal translation of this formula is «NOT green or red». At each row, the formula returns TRUE if the color in column B is not green or red, and FALSE if the color is green or red.

Example #2 — Not blank

A common use case for the NOT function is to reverse the behavior of another function. For example, If cell A1 is blank (empty), the ISBLANK function will return TRUE:

=ISBLANK(A1)  // TRUE if A1 is empty

To reverse this behavior, wrap the NOT function around the ISBLANK function:

=NOT(ISBLANK(A1))  // TRUE if A1 is NOT empty

By adding NOT the output from ISBLANK is reversed. This formula will return TRUE when A1 is not empty and FALSE when A1 is empty. You might use this kind of test to only run a calculation if there is a value in A1:

=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A1)),B1/A1,"")

Translation: if A1 is not blank, divide B1 by A1, otherwise return an empty string («»). This is an example of nesting one function inside another.

Что возвращает функция

Логический аргумент, который является обратным логическому аргументу, используемому в функции NOT. Например, =NOT(TRUE) возвращает FALSE (Ложь) и =NOT(FALSE) возвращает TRUE(Истина).

Синтаксис

=NOT (logical) — английская версия

=НЕ(логическое_значение) — русская версия

Аргументы функции

  • logical (логическое значение) — значение или выражение, которое может быть логически оценено как TRUE (Истина) или FALSE (Ложь)

Дополнительная информация

С помощью функции NOT (НЕ) в Excel вы можете проверить выражение, которое принимает значение TRUE или FALSE. Например, =NOT(1 + 1 = 2) вернет FALSE.

Примеры использования функции NOT (НЕ) в Excel

Пример 1. Конвертируем значение TRUE (Истина) в FALSE (Ложь), и наоборот.

Функция NOT (НЕ) в Excel

Функция преобразует TRUE (Истина) в FALSE (Ложь) и FALSE (Ложь) в TRUE (Истина). Аргумент внутри функции также может быть результатом другой функции, результатом которой являются TRUE / FALSE.

Пример 2. Используем функцию NOT (НЕ) с результатом формулы

Функция NOT (НЕ) в Excel

Если вы используете функцию с результатом какой-либо формулы (которая возвращает значения TRUE или FALSE), то она конвертирует результат TRUE в FALSE и наоборот. На примере выше, значение в ячейке А2 сравнивается с числом. По результату вычисления, при совпадении условий формулы, NOT (НЕ) выдаст FALSE, или отразит TRUE, если значение не совпадает с условиями.

Пример 3. Используем функцию NOT (НЕ) с числовыми значениями

Функция NOT (НЕ) в Excel

В Excel, по умолчанию принято, что цифровое значение “0” (ноль) принимается за FALSE, а любое положительное значение — TRUE. Функция NOT (НЕ) при использовании с числами конвертирует “0” (ноль) в TRUE (Истина) и любое позитивное значение или отрицательное в FALSE (Ложь).

В каких случаях эта функция может пригодиться?

  • Идеально эта функция подойдет, когда необходимо поменять ИСТИНУ на ЛОЖЬ и наоборот.
  • Так же эту функцию можно использовать в условиях, когда нужно выбрать условия, отличные от того, что мы ищем.

Что возвращает функция НЕ (NOT)?

В результате выполнения этой функции вы получите логическое значение — Ложь или Истина

Синтаксис

=НЕ(любой_аргумент_имеющий_логическое_значение)

Используемые в формуле функции аргументы

  • любой_аргумент_имеющий_логическое_значение — например, 1+1=2 — это будет ИСТИНА.

Варианты использования функции НЕ (NOT)

Превращаем ИСТИНУ в ЛОЖЬ

Базовое использование функции НЕ для замены значений

Бывают ситуации, когда вам необходимо поменять значение на обратное. В такой ситуации, идеальным методом станет функция НЕ.

Используем функцию вместе с вычислением

Обращаем значение на противоположное!

Также и в этом случае. Сначала происходит сравнение значения ячейки A2 с числом 20 и если A2>20 то вернется истина, а функция НЕ превратит его в ложь и так далее.

Пример использования НЕ (NOT) с числами

Используем НЕ с числами

Мало кто знает, но в Excel у всех чисел есть логическое значение.

Например число 0 имеет значение ЛОЖЬ, а за истину принято считать 1

The NOT Excel function is a logical function in Excel called the negation function. It negates the value returned through a function or a value from another logical function. This built-in function in Excel takes a single argument: the logic, which can be a formula or a logical value.

For example, suppose we inserted the Excel NOT function in the dataset and conducted the logical test. As a result, it may return the opposite of a given logical or Boolean value. Suppose one value is TRUE, NOT function returns as FALSE. And when the given value is FALSE, NOT function may return TRUE. The NOT function can reverse a logical value.

Syntax

NOT Function Formula

Compulsory Parameter:

  • Logical: The numeric value 0 is considered “False,” and the rest of the values are considered “True.” Logical is an expression that either calculates the TRUE or FALSE if it returns TRUE if the expression is FALSE and returns FALSE if the expression is TRUE.

Examples

Example #1

We must check which value is greater than 100; then, we can use the NOT function in the Logical testA logical test in Excel results in an analytical output, either true or false. The equals to operator, “=,” is the most commonly used logical test.read more column. It will return the reverse return if the value is greater than 100, then it will return FALSE, and if the value is less than or equal to 100, it will return the TRUE as output.

Example 1

Example #2

Let us consider another example wherein we must exclude the color combination red and blue from the toy data set. Then, we can use the NOT function to filter out this combination. But, again, the output will be TRUE because the color is red here.

Example #3

Let us take the employee data wherein we must find the bonus amount for employees who did the extra task and no bonus for those who did not perform the additional task, and employees get ₹100 for each extra task.

Example 3

The output will be = ₹7500 as it will first check for a blank entry in a cell. If not empty, it will multiply the extra task and 100 to calculate the bonus unlocked by the employee.

Example #4

Suppose we have to check colors, such as for the example below, we have to filter out the toy name with the color blue or red from the given data set.

Example 4

First, this will check the condition if the color column contains any toy with blue or red if the condition is TRUE, then it will return blank as output; if not TRUE, it will return x as output.

The Excel NOT function is categorized as a logical function. According to MS Excel, «The NOT function changes FALSE to TRUE, or TRUE to FALSE».

What we’re saying is that the function results in the opposite outcome of its fed parameters. The NOT function is beneficial in the cases where we wish to verify if a specific condition was not met.

We see the NOT function going way back to 2003 where it made its place in the Excel world with its other logical function friends.

Excel NOT Function

Syntax

The unfussy syntax of the NOT function is as follows:

=NOT(logical)

Arguments:

logical – The value or condition to be tested.

Important Characteristics of NOT Function in Excel

  • NOT function returns either «TRUE» or «FALSE» and can evaluate up to 255 conditions.
  • If an argument is the number 0, the result will be «TRUE». Excel processes 0 as FALSE. The NOT function changes FALSE to TRUE.
  • If no logical values are found in the formula, the function returns a #VALUE! error.
  • If the formula has any typos or misspelling, the function returns a #NAME?
  • The arguments can be numbers, cell references, defined names, formulas, functions, or text.

Examples of NOT Function

The talk is better when practically put to the test. So let’s see some examples to understand why the NOT function does the opposite of what it’s told.

Example 1 – Super Duper Basic NOT Function

Riddle time.

Question – What is not TRUE?
Answer: FALSE

Question – What is not FALSE?
Answer: TRUE

See how easy that was? That wasn’t even in Excel language. Working with Boolean parameters, bringing out this function’s ability could not get simpler than this:

=NOT(TRUE) //returns "FALSE"
=NOT(FALSE) //returns "TRUE"

We’re making the NOT function’s life too easy. We can make it work harder.

Example 2 – Plain Vanilla Version of NOT Function

Let’s say Gina loves granola. We have granola bars enlisted with allergens that they contain since Gina has a severe peanut allergy.

Excel-NOT-Function-Example-01

Our objective here is to pick out the bars that contain peanuts so Gina can steer clear of them. That’s achievable with this formula:

=NOT(B2 = "Peanut")

What this formula is doing is looking up column B for the word «Peanut». Since the command is for the cell to not contain «Peanut», if the word «Peanut» is found, the result would be «FALSE». If it is not found, the result will be «TRUE».

  • Cell «C2» asks cell «B2» ‘NOT Peanut?’. «B2» is blank, it’s TRUE, «B2» is ‘NOT Peanut’.
  • Cell «C4» asks cell «B4» ‘NOT Peanut?’. «B4» is «Peanut», it’s FALSE.

Gina has to keep away from the «FALSE» results. Luckily, she has a lot of peanut-free options.

Example 3 – Use of NOT Function with IF Function

The role of an IF function is to return a value based on a stated condition. Bringing forward the example from above, we take a look at how the 2 functions go together.

Excel-NOT-Function-Example-02

The plus point here of using the NOT function within the IF function is that we can get:

  • «Peanut Free!» instead of «TRUE» and
  • «Peanuts Present!» instead of «FALSE»

as a result.

We use the following formula:

=IF(NOT(B2 = "Peanut"), "Peanut Free!", "Peanuts Present!")

Firstly, the NOT function starts its work, looks up the «B2» cell to check whether it contains «Peanut». NOT function finds «B2» cell blank, which implies «B2» is «NOT» equal to «Peanut». And thus, the result of the NOT function is «TRUE».

The result is passed onto the IF function where the corresponding value for TRUE is «Peanut Free!». Hence the IF function returns «Peanut Free!» as a result.

Example 4 – NOT «X» OR «Y»

The OR function can be used to evaluate an array of values and determine whether the condition specified is met in at least one value or not. Let’s carry forward the example above.

It turns out Gina isn’t as lucky as we thought; she is also allergic to soy! Which means her favorite granola bars need to be peanut and soy-free. Let’s help her.

Excel-NOT-Function-Example-03

We need to find granola bars that do not contain peanuts or soy. To find these two allergens, the formula we’ve applied is:

=NOT(OR(B2 = "Peanut", B2 = "Soy"))

The OR function has been asked to check cells from B2 to B17 and see whether they contain

  • «Peanut» or
  • «Soy».

The OR function finds «B2» contains «Soy». Since one argument of the function is fulfilled, the result is «TRUE». This result is passed onto the NOT function.

The NOT function flips «TRUE» to «FALSE».

The core purpose of having the NOT function here anyway is to find out whether «B2» is NOT «Peanut» OR «Soy». So as the greater picture, the result is also «FALSE» and that is the result returned in C2.

IF NOT «x» OR «y»

To attain the same customized result seen in Example 3, we can easily incorporate the IF function by this formula:

=IF(NOT(OR(B2 = "Peanut", B2 = "Soy")),"Safe!","Unsafe!")

Excel-NOT-Function-Example-04

The results are in column C. Adding the IF function has customized the results into:

  • «Safe!» instead of «TRUE» and
  • «Unsafe!» instead of «FALSE».

That would be it. NOT the last you hear from us. Since we talked so much about granola bars, you know what else you can do on Excel?

NOT in Excel

NOT in Excel

NOT function is an inbuilt function that is categorized under the Logical Function; the logical function operates under a logical test. It is also called Boolean logic or function. Boolean functions are most commonly used along with or in conjunction with other functions, specifically along with conditional test functions (“IF’’ FUNCTION), to create formulas that can evaluate multiple parameters or criteria and produce desired results depending on that criteria. It is used as an individual function or part of the formula and other excel functions in a cell. E.G. with AND, IF & OR function. It returns the opposite value of a given logical value in the formula, NOT function is used to reverse a logical value. If the argument is FALSE, then TRUE is returned and vice versa.

Note: Use NOT function when you want to make sure a value is not equal to one Specific or particular value

It’s a worksheet function; it is also used as part of the formula in a cell along with other excel function

  • If given with the value TRUE, the Not function returns FALSE
  • If given with the value FALSE, the Not function returns TRUE

NOT Formula in Excel

Below is the NOT Formula in excel:

NOT formula in Excel

=NOT (logical) logical – A value that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE

The only parameter in the NOT function is a logical value.

The logical test or argument can be either entered directly, or it can be entered as a reference to a cell that contains a logical value, and it always returns the Boolean value (“TRUE” OR “FALSE”) only.

How to Use the NOT Function in Excel?

NOT Function in Excel is very simple and easy to use. Let us now see how to use the NOT function in excel with the help of some examples.

You can download this NOT function Excel Template here – NOT function Excel Template

Example #1 – Excel NOT Function

Here a logical test is performed on the given set of values (Student score) by using the NOT function. Here, we will check which value is greater than or equal to 50.

In the table, we have 2 columns, the first column contains student score & the second column is the logical test column, where the NOT function is performed.

Result: It will return the reverse value if the value is greater than or equal to 50, then it will return FALSE and if the lesser than or equal to 50, it will return TRUE as output.

NOT in excel example 1-1

The result will be as given below:

NOT in excel example 1-2

Example #2 – Using NOT Function with ISBLANK

the logical test is performed on the H5 & H6 Cells by using the NOT Function along with ISBLANK function; here will check if cells H5 & H6 is blank OR not using NOT function along with ISBLANK in excel

NOT Function with ISBLANK

OUTPUT will be TRUE.

NOT example 2-1

Example #3 – NOT Function along with “IF” and “OR” Function

Here the color check is performed for the cars in the below-mentioned table by using NOT Function along with “if” and “or” function

Here we have to sort out color “WHITE” or “RED” from the given set of data

=IF(NOT(OR(H11=”RED”,H11=”WHITE”)),”x”,””) formula is used

This logical condition is applied on a Color column containing any car with color “RED” or “WHITE”,

if the condition is true, then it will return blank as output,

 NOT example 3

if not true, then it will return x as output

NOT example 3-1

Example #4 – VALUE! Error

It Occurs when the supplied argument is not a logical or numeric value.

Suppose, if we give a range in the logical argument

Selected the range C22:D22 in the logical argument, i.e. =NOT (C22:D22)

a function returns a #VALUE error because the NOT function does not allow any range and can take only a logical test or argument or one condition.

NOT example 4

Example #5 – NOT Function for an empty cell or blank or “0”

An empty cell or blank or “0” are treated as false, therefore “NOT” function returns TRUE

Here in the cell “I23”, the stored value is “0” suppose if I apply the “NOT” function with logical argument or value as “0” or “I23”, Output will be TRUE.

NOT example 5

Example #6 – NOT Function for Decimals

When the value is decimal in a cell

Suppose if we take the argument as decimals, i.e. suppose if I apply the “NOT” function with logical argument or value as “225.25” or “c27”, Output will be FALSE.

NOT Function for Decimals

Example #7 – NOT Function for Negative Number

When the value is a negative number in a cell

Suppose if we take the argument as a negative number, i.e. suppose if I apply the “NOT” function with logical argument or value as “-4” or “H27”, Output will be FALSE.

NOT example 7

Example #8 – When the value or Reference is Boolean Input in NOT Function

When the value or reference is Boolean input (“TRUE” OR “FALSE”) in a cell.

Here in the cell “C31”, the stored value is “TRUE” suppose if I apply the “NOT” function with logical argument or value as “C31” or “TRUE”, Output will be FALSE. It will be vice versa if the logical argument is “FALSE”, i.e. the NOT function returns the “TRUE” value as output.

Функция

НЕ(

)

, английский вариант NOT(),

используется в тех случаях, когда необходимо убедиться, что значение не равно некой конкретной величине.

Синтаксис функции


НЕ(логическое_значение)


логическое_значение

— любое значение или выражение, принимающее значения ИСТИНА или ЛОЖЬ.

=НЕ(A1>100)

Т.е. если в одной ячейке

A1

содержится значение больше 100, то формула вернет

ЛОЖЬ,

а если <=100, то —

ИСТИНА

.

Другими словами, формула

=НЕ(ЛОЖЬ)

вернет ИСТИНА, а формула

=НЕ(ИСТИНА)

вернет ЛОЖЬ.

Совместное использование с другими функциями

Сама по себе функция

НЕ()

имеет ограниченное использование, т.к. она может вернуть только значения ИСТИНА или ЛОЖЬ.

Предположим, что проверяется 2 значения на превышение числа 100:

=И(A1>100;A2>100)

Пусть необходимо вернуть значение ИСТИНА, когда оба значения

НЕ

превышают 100. Этого можно добиться изменив формулу на

=И(A1<=100;A2<=100)

или просто записав

=НЕ(И(A1>100;A2>100))

Другой пример, ответим на вопрос «Содержит ли ячейка

А1

какое-нибудь значение». Для этого можно записать формулу

=НЕ(ЕПУСТО(A1))

. Формула вернет ИСТИНА, если ячейка

А1

содержит значение.

When to use Excel NOT Function

It can be used when you want to reverse the value of a logical argument (TRUE/FALSE).

What it Returns

It returns a logical argument which is the reverse of the logical argument used within the NOT function. For example, =NOT(TRUE) returns FALSE and =NOT(FALSE) returns TRUE.

Syntax

=NOT(logical)

Input Arguments

  • logical – A value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.

Additional Notes:

  • You can check expression with NOT function that evaluates to TRUE or FALSE.
    • For example, =NOT(1+1=2) would return FALSE.

Examples – Using Excel NOT Function

Here are three example of using the Excel NOT Function:

#1 Converting TRUE to FALSE / FALSE to TRUE

Excel NOT Function - True to False

It converts TRUE to FALSE and FALSE to TRUE. The argument within the function can also be a result of some other function(s) that results in TRUE/FALSE.

#2 Using with Formula Result

Excel NOT Function - Changing Formula Result

If used with a formula result (that returns TRUE/FALSE), it converts TRUE to FALSE and FALSE to TRUE. In the above example, the value is A2 is compared with a number (that returns TRUE if the condition is met, else FALSE), and NOT function is used on the result of the comparison.

#3 Using with Numbers

Excel NOT Function - With numbers

In Excel, 0 denotes FALSE and any other number denotes TRUE. Excel NOT function converts 0 (which is FALSE) to TRUE and any other number to FALSE.
