Default Totalling discrepancies

Try this:

=SUM(ABS(C2:C4))

Enter this as an array formula. Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of just
Enter. If done correctly, { } should appear around the formula in the
formula bar.

Hello all,

help much appreciated on the following problem:

Column A contains "Expected number of units"

Column B contains "Actual number of units"

Column C contains "Difference"



Expected Actual Diff
2 3 1
-1 5 6
8 1 -7



What i need is for the sum of Column C (diff) to give me 14, as there
are 14 discrepancies shown.


Thanks in advance.
