Select  ›  5. Inverse selection...

This utility will invert your selection.
It will ask you to select a range, and extract your current selection from it. What remains is a selection which consists of the new cells, but without your initial selection.
This can be useful for example when you want to select a lot of cells, except for a few ones. This is a bit of the opposite of the "Deselect cells..." utility.
