Using QGIS 2.18. I have 346 polygons on a layer and I want to display all but one.



In this instance I wish to run a query using field ONSCode but show all except 17UB.



I have been trying to use NOT but in the wrong context and get errors.

          How about "ONScode" != '17UB'



          != means "not equal to".

            LIKE also does wildcard matching which makes the operator slightly slower (and behave slightly differently) than = and !=. For for the string 'ABC 123' the patterns 'ABC 123', 'A%', '%3' and '%C 1%' all match. The pattern '10%' matches the string '10%' but also the string '100%'. The character _ matches any single character. In QGIS 3 and later you can match a literal % or _ with \\% and \\_. Interestingly, in QGIS wildcards are implemented as regexes under the hood; this means using regexp_match should actually be slightly cheaper than simple wildcards!
