Math and Trignometric SERIESSUM Function
Description
The SERIESSUM function returns the sum of a power series. Many functions can be approximated by a power series expansion.
Syntax
SERIESSUM (x, n, m, coefficients)
Arguments
Argument | Description | Required/Optional |
---|---|---|
X | The input value to the power series. | Required |
N | The initial power to which you want to raise x. | Required |
M | The step by which to increase n for each term in the series. | Required |
Coefficients | A set of coefficients by which each successive power of x is multiplied. The number of values in coefficients determines the number of terms in the power series. | Required |
Notes
The sum of a power series is given by
$SERIESSUM (x, n, m, a) = a_1x^n+a_2x^{(n+m)}+a_3x^{(n+2m)}+...+a_jx^{(n+(j-1)m)}$
Where (a1, a2, a3 … aj) is the set of coefficients.
If any of the specified arguments is non-numeric, SERIESSUM returns #VALUE! error
Applicability
Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016
