!~ Does Not Contain

NE()

NE(value1, value2)

Returns "TRUE" if two specified values are not equal and "FALSE" otherwise. Equivalent to the "<>" operator.

Formula Result
=NE(16, 16) FALSE
=NE(11, 11) FALSE
=NE(-4, 3) TRUE
=NE(,0) FALSE

EQ()

EQ(value1, value2)

Returns "TRUE" if two specified values are equal and "FALSE" otherwise. Equivalent to the "=" operator.

Formula Result
=EQ(16, 16) TRUE
=EQ(11, 11) TRUE
=EQ(-4, 3) FALSE
=EQ(,0) TRUE

GT()

GT(value1, value2)

Returns TRUE if the first argument is strictly greater than the second, and FALSE otherwise. Equivalent to the > operator.

Formula Result
=GT(8, 10) FALSE
=GT(6, 6) FALSE
=GT(-10, -12) TRUE

GTE()

GTE(value1, value2)

Returns TRUE if the first argument is greater than or equal to the second, and FALSE otherwise. Equivalent to the >= operator.

Formula Result
=GTE(8, 10) FALSE
=GTE(6, 6) TRUE
=GTE(-10, -12) TRUE

LT()

LT(value1, value2)

Returns TRUE if the first argument is strictly less than the second, and FALSE otherwise. Equivalent to the < operator.

Formula Result
=LT(8, 10) TRUE
=LT(6, 6) FALSE
=LT(-10, -12) FALSE

LTE()

LTE(value1, value2)

Returns TRUE if the first argument is less than or equal to the second, and FALSE otherwise. Equivalent to the <= operator.

Formula Result
=LTE(8, 10) TRUE
=LTE(6, 6) TRUE
=LTE(-10, -12) FALSE

ISBETWEEN()

ISBETWEEN(value_to_compare, lower_value, upper_value, lower_value_is_inclusive, upper_value_is_inclusive)

Formula Result
=ISBETWEEN(7.9, 1.2, 12.45) TRUE
=ISBETWEEN(1.2, 1.2, 12.45, TRUE) TRUE
=ISBETWEEN(1.2, 1.2, 12.45, FALSE) FALSE
=ISBETWEEN(12.45, 1.2, 12.45, TRUE, TRUE) TRUE
=ISBETWEEN(12.45, 1.2, 12.45, TRUE, FALSE) FALSE
=ISBETWEEN(7.9, 1.2, 12.45, FALSE, FALSE) TRUE

CONCAT()

CONCAT(value1, value2)

value1 and value2 can be any scalar value or reference to a scalar value, including numeric and text types.

Formula Result
=CONCAT(“Google”, “Docs”) GoogleDocs
=CONCAT(3,6) 36
=CONCAT(“Spreadsheet”, 77) Spreadsheet77

DIVIDE()

DIVIDE(value1, value2)

Returns one number divided by another. Equivalent to the / operator.

Formula Result
=DIVIDE(10, 5) 2
=DIVIDE(-2, 5) -0.4
=DIVIDE(0, 1) 0
