Why are you using the Volatile INDIRECT function in that formula? This
formula will do the same thing...

=SUMPRODUCT(ABS(A1:A9))

hi all !!
i try in workbook function, and i try in vbe but i can't do it by
myself...

i need the sum of the absolute value of each cell in range L2:L6..
if you can do it in workbook function ,please add a INDIRECT in your
fornula, because it is a range that has occasional shift.
txx !!
