'Equal to' 'Not Equal to" not opposites

I am trying to filter a report and am struggling to get the inverse of the if/then to show properly.

I have tested the 'equal to' formula and it is working properly. i.e. I set a filter to be equal to that word so it only pulls records with that word in the field I am referencing.

However, if I want the inverse of that report. i.e. I want all the records that do not contain that word to pull on the report however the inverse which I believe should just be switching the 'equal to' to 'not equal to' is not filtering the report at all. even though I have told the report to show me words not equal to the value I've entered are still pulling to the report. 

I can make a work around with multiple 'equal to' lines. I just believe that selecting the inverse of equal to should pull the records properly. 

TIA,

Kbarry

np, just change the "any" to "all"

Can you post a screen shot of the filter that is not working. Seems odd.

So, if I set equal to it pulls the records with that field name and hides the ones that don't but if I switch to not equal to it doesn't do the opposite like I believe it should.
