Excel's logical operators are used in formulas to perform comparisons, and to build formula criteria. Logical operators can be used in formulas on their own, or combined with each other and/or other functions. The table below lists the logical operators available in Excel:
| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| = | Equal to | =A1=10 |
| <> | Not equal to | =A1<>10 |
| > | Greater than | =A1>100 |
| < | Less than | =A1<100 |
| >= | Greater than or equal to | =A1>=75 |
| <= | Less than or equal to | =A1<0 |
Note: all Excel formulas must begin with an equal sign (=). This is a syntax requirement, not a logical comparison.
Math operators are listed here. See this list of formulas for many examples of logical operators in formulas. Note that a text value is greater than any number in Excel.
