ABS Function
What is the syntax for the Abs function and how does it
work? This function was included in an equation that was recommended to solve a problem that I had, but I do not understand the function. |

ABS Function
From the Help file:
Returns a value of the same type that is passed to it specifying the absolute value of a number. Syntax Abs(number) The required number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number contains Null, Null is returned; if it is an uninitialized variable, zero is returned. Remarks The absolute value of a number is its unsigned magnitude. For example, ABS(-1) and ABS(1) both return 1. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) "Andrea" wrote in message ...
