About This Feature

Overview

The NOT function in WPS multi-dimensional tables reverses a logical value. When the original condition evaluates to TRUE, the result becomes FALSE. When the original condition evaluates to FALSE, the result becomes TRUE.

Core capabilities include:

Use the NOT function in a formula field to reverse a logical result.
Combine NOT with functions such as IF and AND to build more flexible logic.
Let formula results refresh automatically after record data changes.

This function is useful for condition checks, status evaluation, and exception marking in structured table records.

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Operating system	A Windows device that can run WPS Office normally
App version	It is recommended to use the latest version of WPS Office
Network	An internet connection is recommended for installation and account-related features; local formula editing does not require a constant connection
Other	You need access to a multi-dimensional table and permission to edit formula fields

Download & Installation

Capability Summary	Use NOT in a formula field inside WPS multi-dimensional tables to reverse logical results and combine it with other functions.	Excel provides the `NOT(logical)` syntax to reverse a logical value and use it with IF, AND, and OR.	Google Sheets provides the `NOT(logical_expression)` syntax to return the opposite logical result.	Notion formulas support the `not` logical operator for boolean values and conditional expressions.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports calculated fields and includes `not(logical)` in form expressions for logic handling.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places NOT directly in a record-based table workflow, which is convenient when logic rules and structured data need to stay together.	Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on traditional spreadsheet cell formulas.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets offers similar logic behavior in an online spreadsheet environment.	Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on database property formulas rather than a spreadsheet-style calculation interface.	Compared with WPS: Adobe mainly applies this logic in PDF form calculations instead of multi-dimensional table records.

Overall Conclusion: WPS is a practical fit when you want logical reversal inside a structured record table instead of a traditional spreadsheet or PDF form workflow. For teams managing table-based records and formula fields together, this setup is straightforward.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main pain point	How WPS helps
1	Reverse approval conditions	Project managers	Need to mark records that do not meet a condition quickly	Use NOT in a formula field to reverse the original result
2	Output statuses with IF	Operations and data coordinators	A single condition does not always produce a readable status	Combine NOT with IF to return labels such as pass or exception
3	Track record changes in batches	Team collaborators	Need formula results to update as source data changes	Formula fields refresh automatically after data updates
