Example

Let's say you have a list of items and their prices, and you want to find out if the price of a specific item is not equal to a given amount.

Assuming the item is in cell A2 and its price is in cell B2, and the given amount is in cell C2. To check if the price in B2 does not equal the given amount in C2, follow these steps:

1. Click on an empty cell where you want the result to appear, let's say D2.
2. Type the following formula: =B2<>C2
3. Press Enter.

The result will be TRUE if the price in B2 is not equal to the given amount in C2, and FALSE if they are equal.
