ABS is a VBA function (see Walkenbach, -Excel 2002 PowerProgramming-,
page 871)

Just to test it, try this: put a number in cell F6, then use this code
to put absolute value into F7. (Shorter way to do this, but gives you
the idea).


Code:
--------------------

Sub Test()
Dim i As Integer
i = Range("F6").Value
Range("F7").Value = Abs(i)
End Sub

--------------------

if you dont want to use the function then

dim x as double
dim abs as double

if x < 0 then
abs = x * -1
else
abs = x
endif
