OpenOffice3.org Calc 3. Logical Functions

NOT(Logical value) Function

The function returns a logical value. Reverses the value of the argument “logical value”. The argument contains an expression that returns a logical value or a reference to a cell containing a formula that returns a logical value. If the argument contains the logical value FALSE, the function returns TRUE. On the other hand, if the argument contains a logical value TRUE, the function returns FALSE. For example:

=NOT(A4<5) The argument is an expression, if the contents of cell A4 is less than 5, the argument takes the logical value TRUE in this case, the function returns FALSE because it reverses the logical value of the argument.

=NOT(TRUE()) Returns FALSE. The result is the logical value TRUE, the function returns FALSE.

=NOT(FALSE()) Returns TRUE. The argument is FALSE. The function returns TRUE.
