| Parameter | Deskripsi |
|---|---|
number |
The number to get the absolute value of. |
Negative numbers become positive, while positive numbers and zero (0) are unaffected:
=ABS(-3) // returns 3
=ABS(5) // returns 5
=ABS(0) // returns 0
Calculating the variance between two numbers is a common problem. For example, with a forecast value in A1 and an actual value in B1, you might calcul
=B1-A1 // negative or positive result
When B1 is greater than A1, variance is a positive number. However, when A1 is greater than B1, the result will be negative. To ensure the result is a
=ABS(B1-A1) // ensure positive result
The ABS function can be used together with the SUMPRODUCT function to count absolute variances that meet specific conditions. For example, to count ab
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ABS(variances)>100))
The SQRT function calculates the square root of a number. If you give SQRT a negative number, it will return a #NUM! error:
=SQRT(-4) // returns #NUM!
To handle a negative number like a positive number, you can use the ABS function like this:
=SQRT(ABS(A1))
