Mathematical
Functions
The arguments
for mathematical
functions
are either
numbers
or addresses
of
cells that contain
numbers.
The results
of these
calculations
are always
numbers.
Function
ABS (value)
£XP (mluO
Description
Absolute
value
of a number.
Value can be a cell. For example,
ABS(-12)
returns
12.
Value
of e (the
mathematical
constant)
raised
to the power
of yaks.
Vahw
is a
positive
integer.
If va/ue
has a fractional
portion,
FACT calculates
the factorial
for the
integer
portion
of value.
For example,
EXP(2)
retmaxs 7. 389506
or e z.
FACT
(value)
Factorial
of a number
(value).
For example,
FACT(4)
returns
24.
INT
(value)
Value
rounded
to the
next
lowest
integer.
Vahae can be a positive
or negative
number,
or a reference
to a cell that
contains
a number.
LN
(vahte)
Natural
logarithm
of value,
using
the constant
e as a base.
LN is the inverse
of EXP.
Value
must
be a positive
number.
For example,
LN(2) returns
0.693147.
LOG (value)
Base
10 logarithm
of va/ue.
Value
must be a positive
number.
For example,
LOG(100)
returns
2.
MOD
(value,
divisor)
Modulus,
the
remainder
of the division
of value
by divisor.
If you
attempt
to divide
....
_
MOD returns
an_ er_o_..
-_
-
_ by zero,
_
PRODUCT
(valuel,
Product
of multiplication
of a list of numbers
(values).
You can have
as many
value2,...)
.
arguments
as you want.
Value
can be numbers
or references.
ROUND (valu_
value rounded
to the specified number of decimal
places.
For example,
p/aces)
ROUND(12.2376)
returns
12.24.
SQRT
(value)
Square
root
of a va/ue,
va/ue
must
be a positive
number.
SUM
(valuel,
Total
of a list
of va/ues.
You can use as many
arguments
as you
want.
value2,...)
TRUNC
(value)
The
integer
portion
(without
rounding)
of a value.
For example,
TRUNC(23.66)
returns
23.
