How can I use the IMLOG function in Google Sheets?

The IMLOG function in Google Sheets allows users to calculate the logarithm of a complex number. This function takes in two arguments, the complex number and the base of the logarithm, and returns the result in the form of a complex number. By using the IMLOG function, users can easily perform complex number calculations and analyze data in a more efficient and organized manner. This function can be accessed through the formula bar in Google Sheets and can be used in various applications, such as financial analysis, engineering, and data analysis. Overall, the IMLOG function provides a useful tool for users to manipulate and analyze complex numbers in Google Sheets.

IMLOG function

The IMLOG function returns the logarithm of a complex number for a specified base.

Parts of an IMLOG formula 

The IMLOG formula is formatted as =IMLOG(value, base).

PartDescriptionNotes
valueThe input value of the logarithm function.
  • The number can be written as plain numbers, e.g. 1, to be interpreted as a real number.
  • The number can be written as quoted text in order to specify both the real and complex coefficients.
baseThe base to use when calculating the logarithm.Must be a positive real number.

Sample formulas 

IMLOG("1+i", 3.5)

IMLOG(COMPLEX(25, 34), 2.3)

IMLOG(100, 10)

Notes

  • IMLOG is equivalent to LOG for all non-complex values that are greater than zero.
  • IMLOG is equivalent to IMLN given base of e, or EXP(1).
  • IMLOG is equivalent to IMLOG10 given base of 10.
  • IMLOG is equivalent to IMLOG2  given base of 2.
