Engineering - COMPLEX Function



Description

The COMPLEX function converts real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number of the form x + yi or x + yj.

Syntax

COMPLEX (real_num, i_num, [suffix])

Arguments

Argument Description Required/ Optional
real_num The real coefficient of the complex number. Required
i_num The imaginary coefficient of the complex number. Required
suffix The suffix for the imaginary component of the complex number. If omitted, suffix is assumed to be "i". Optional

Notes

  • All complex number functions accept "i" and "j" for suffix, but neither "I" nor "J". Using uppercase results in the #VALUE! Error value.

  • All functions that accept two or more complex numbers require that all suffixes match.

  • If real_num is nonnumeric, COMPLEX returns the #VALUE! error value.

  • If i_num is nonnumeric, COMPLEX returns the #VALUE! error value.

  • If suffix is neither "i" nor "j", COMPLEX returns the #VALUE! error value.

Applicability

Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016
