To calculate the absolute value of a complex number in Google Sheets, use the ABS function. This function will return the magnitude of the complex number, which is its distance from the origin on the complex plane. Simply enter the complex number as the input for the ABS function and the absolute value will be displayed as the output. This can be useful for various mathematical and engineering calculations involving complex numbers in Google Sheets.
IMABS
Returns the absolute value of a complex number.
Sample Usage
