sum absolute values of a column of numbers in Excel
In Excel, how do I total the absolute value of a column of numbers without
invoking 'abs' function individually on each cell in the range? (e.g. abs(a1)+abs(a2)+abs(a3)...) |

sum absolute values of a column of numbers in Excel
Try this method:
=SUM(ABS(A1:A10)) Note: Commit that array formula by holding down the [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys when you press [Enter]. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "MRolko" wrote: In Excel, how do I total the absolute value of a column of numbers without invoking 'abs' function individually on each cell in the range?
