Default How do I sum the absolute values of a range of cells?

Chip Pearson wrote:
Use the following array formula:

=SUM(ABS(A1:A10))

Since this is an array formula, you must press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
rather than just ENTER when you first enter the formula and
whenever you edit it later. If you do this properly, Excel will
display the formula enclosed in curly braces {}.

Or

=SUMPRODUCT(ABS(A1:A10))

which does not need to be entered as an array formula.
