Examples
This example references the following sheet information:
| Clothing Item | Transaction Total | In Stock? | Sold Date | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | T-Shirt | 1,170.00 | true | 02/12/19 |
| 2 | Pants | 1,491.00 | false | 02/15/19 |
| 3 | Jacket | 812.00 | true | 02/20/19 |
Given the table above, here are some examples of using NOT in a sheet:
| Formula | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
| =IF(NOT([In Stock?]1 = true), "Out Of Stock", "In Stock") | Returns the string Out Of Stock if the value in row 1 of the In Stock column does not equal true. Otherwise, the function returns the string In Stock. | In Stock |
| =COUNTIF([Clothing Item]:[Clothing Item], NOT(@cell = "Jacket")) | Counts values that aren't equal to the string Jacket in the Clothing Item column. Rows 1 and 2 apply. | 2 |
| =IF(NOT(YEAR(TODAY())= YEAR([Sold Date]3)), "Sale did not occur this year", "Sale occurred this year") | Returns the string Sale did not occur this year if the year in row 3 of the Sold Date column isn't equal to the current year. (In this example, the current year is 2019.) Otherwise, the function returns the string Sale occurred this year. | Sale occurred this year |
