How can I perform the opposite action or negate a statement in Google Sheets?

By /

To perform the opposite action or negate a statement in Google Sheets, you can use the NOT function. This function allows you to reverse the logical value of a statement, making it false if it was originally true or vice versa. This can be useful when working with conditional formatting, data validation, or creating complex formulas. Simply add the NOT function before your statement and enclose it in parentheses. This will return the opposite value of your statement and help you achieve your desired outcome in your Google Sheets.

NOT

Returns the opposite of a logical value – `NOT(TRUE)` returns `FALSE`; `NOT(FALSE)` returns `TRUE`.

Sample Usage

NOT(A2)

NOT(ISERR(A2))

Syntax

NOT(logical_expression)

  • logical_expression – An expression or reference to a cell holding an expression that represents some logical value, i.e. TRUE or FALSE.

Notes

  • Because 0 has a logical value of FALSE and any non-zero numeric value has a logical value of TRUE, NOT(0) returns TRUE and NOT(6) returns FALSE. However, when non-numeric values are input into NOT, the function returns the error #VALUE!.

See Also

FALSE: Returns the logical value `FALSE`.

TRUE: Returns the logical value `TRUE`.

Examples

Reverses the logical value.
