XOR Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Testing if exactly one condition is TRUE for exclusive logical operations
Understanding the XOR Formula
The XOR function in Excel tests for exclusive OR, returning TRUE if exactly one argument is TRUE and others are FALSE. It's a logical tool for mutually exclusive conditions—like validating scenarios where only one option should be selected.
XOR(A1>0, A1<10) returns TRUE if only one of the conditions is met, FALSE if both or neither are true. It takes multiple logical arguments, ensuring an odd number of TRUE values—perfect for exclusive choices.
Why Use XOR?
XOR enforces exclusivity—think forced choices or toggle states. Its exclusive-or logic validates unique selections, making it valuable for flags or fields that shouldn't overlap.
Example with Sample Data
| Conditions | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| TRUE, FALSE | =XOR(TRUE, FALSE) | TRUE |
| TRUE, TRUE | =XOR(TRUE, TRUE) | FALSE |
| FALSE, FALSE, TRUE | =XOR(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE) | TRUE |
XOR requires exclusivity: exactly one TRUE across inputs gives TRUE. It's an either-or enforcer.
