Absolute Function Excel

Negative numbers can distort your calculations. Learn how to fix that using Excel absolute value functions—so your data always reflects true values.

This Excel video teaches you about the ABS function, which is like a magic trick for numbers.

When you have negative numbers that you want to turn into positive numbers without changing the positive ones, you can use ABS. It's like finding out how far a number is from zero on a number line.

Just remember, ABS changes negative numbers to positive, but positive and zero numbers stay the same. If you put a number inside ABS and it's not a regular number, it might give you an error.

For example, =ABS(-3) will give you 3, =ABS(5) will give you 5, and =ABS(0) will still be 0.

You can use ABS to make sure your math is always positive, like when you're comparing things or counting stuff.

It's also helpful with other functions, like making sure square roots work with negative numbers. And if you want to check if something is okay or not based on a certain limit, ABS can help you with that too!
