Inumber – The complex number for which you want to find the absolute value.
Note:
1) The absolute value of the Complex number is calculated as follows.
2) IMABS ( z ) = |Z| = √x² + y² where ( Z = X+Yi )
3) X and Y are real numbers, and i or j is an imaginary number.
4) X is a real part, Yi is an imaginary part. 5) You can use a COMPLEX Function to convert real and imaginary coefficients to a complex number.
Practical Examples
Let’s see an example to know how IMABS Function works in the Excel spreadsheet.
