Math and Trignometric - SUMSQ Function
Description
The SUMSQ function returns the sum of the squares of the arguments.
Syntax
SUMSQ (number1, [number2] ...)
Arguments
Argument | Description | Required/Optional |
---|---|---|
Number1 | 1 to 255 arguments for which you want the sum of the squares. You can also use a single array or a reference to an array instead of arguments separated by commas. |
Required |
number2, ... | Optional |
Notes
Arguments can either be numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
Numbers, logical values, and text representations of numbers that you type directly into the list of arguments are counted.
If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are counted. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored.
Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause errors.
If a value that is supplied directly to the Function cannot be interpreted as a number, SUMSQ returns #VALUE! Error.
