How to Use the NOT Function in Excel (Reverse Logic Made Easy)

The NOT() function is used to reverse a logical value in Excel. It’s especially useful when you want a condition to trigger when something is not true.

📘 Syntax:

=NOT(condition)

✅ Example:

=IF(NOT(A2="Pass"), "Needs Review", "Cleared")

This formula will return "Needs Review" if A2 is anything other than "Pass".

🎯 Use Cases:

• Flagging rows that don’t meet a certain value
• Filtering out specific data
• Used inside other functions like IF, AND, OR

🧠 Why It Matters:

NOT is a simple but powerful logical tool. It helps make your formulas more dynamic by flipping results where needed.
