# NOT

The NOT function in Shedmate inverts the logical value of a condition. It returns TRUE if the original condition is false and FALSE if the original condition is true. It is useful for checking the opposite of a condition within an IF formula.

### Syntax:

```
IF(NOT(condition), value_if_true, value_if_false)
```

### Parameters:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
condition (required): The condition to be inverted. It can be any expression that results in true (TRUE) or false (FALSE).
```

{% endcode %}

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
value_if_true (required): The value to be returned if the inverted condition is true.
```

{% endcode %}

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
value_if_false (required): The value to be returned if the inverted condition is false.
```

{% endcode %}
