It does nothing. It means that the author of the formula has forgotten that
he is using Excel, and not an old Lotus spreadsheet. -- David Biddulph "cefwork" wrote in message ... What does is mean when I see a "+" beginning a formula. =+j2-g4/(h4). What does the "+" do? |

Absolutely nothing, now. It's a leftover from earlier programming languages
(or older programmers!) when you had to include the sign (such as in Lotus notes). In XL, indicating a positive number with a plus sign is just an extra step, it serves no real function now. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "cefwork" wrote: What does is mean when I see a "+" beginning a formula. =+j2-g4/(h4).
