Syntex:  =ABS(Number)

(Number) means we can use the number, either positive or negative or we can also provide a cell reference in MS Excel sheet. 


For Example, the ABS function in cell B2 to B8 has both minus (-) and plus (+) values and after applying the ABS formula, it returns only absolute values, and all becomes positive (+). we consider it a positive number, if there is no sign before the numeric value, 






The above example is the best of example to understand ABS Function. Negative and positive values found in second column and with the help of ABS function, we can remove all negative and positive sign and get the accurate value in the third column. 


With the help of the above example, you can easily understood that  "how is the “ABS” function working". We found the absolute value with the help of “ABS Function". In case we need only value irrespective of the positive or negative sign, We can use ABS function.

With the help of ABS function, we can easily remove all the signs and the function will provide us the absolute values in just a few seconds. ABS Function we can also use among the multi formulas.
