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.
