NOT function

PRO BASIC

The NOT function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a logical function that provides the inverse of a given value. In simpler terms, it will give you 'true' if your input is 'false', and vice versa. This is especially useful in conditional operations where you wish to reverse a logical or boolean condition. It helps in creating more complex formulas, enhancing the versatility of your spreadsheet tasks.

Documentation

Returns the opposite of a logical value, i.e., returns true if the value is false, and false if the value is true.

Syntax

NOT(logical)

Parameter	Description
`logical`	The logical value to negate.

Behavior

The NOT function is a logical function that returns the opposite of a given logical or Boolean value. If the given value is TRUE, it returns FALSE, and if the given value is FALSE, it returns TRUE. Here's how it handles different types of inputs:

Empty cells: The NOT function treats empty cells as zero. Hence, it will return TRUE, since zero is equivalent to FALSE in a logical context.
Text: Non-numeric strings are considered as logical errors in the NOT function. Hence, it will return an error.
Booleans: The NOT function will simply return the opposite of the given Boolean value. For example, if the input is TRUE, it will return FALSE and vice versa.
Errors: If the NOT function is applied to a cell that contains an error, it will also return an error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	If a non-numeric string is provided, NOT returns a #VALUE! error.
#REF!	This error occurs when the `NOT` function is given a cell reference that does not exist.

Best practices

Always ensure that the input for the NOT function is a logical or Boolean value to avoid errors.

Be careful with empty cells, as they are treated as FALSE by the NOT function.

Use the NOT function when you want to reverse the logic of a given condition.

For complex logical tests, consider combining the NOT function with other logical functions like 'AND' and 'OR'.

Usage

A few examples using the NOT function.

NOT(TRUE) → FALSE  
NOT(FALSE) → TRUE  
NOT(5>10) → TRUE   (since 5>10 is FALSE, NOT(FALSE) = TRUE)  
NOT(3=3) → FALSE   (since 3=3 is TRUE, NOT(TRUE) = FALSE)  
NOT(0) → TRUE      (0 is treated as FALSE, NOT(FALSE) = TRUE)  
NOT(1) → FALSE     (1 is treated as TRUE, NOT(TRUE) = FALSE)
