Good Morning All,

I am wanting to sum for a range that return the absolute value for that
range. There can be multiple unknown positive or negative values in the
cells. I have done it before but I can not recall how.

Ex: (10.00)+10.00+(10.00)=30.00
 
Linda,

Use a formula like the following array formula:

=SUM(ABS(A1:A10))

Since this is an array formula, you must press Ctrl+Shift+Enter rather than
just Enter when you first enter the formula and whenever you edit it later.
If you do this properly, Excel will display the formula enclosed in curly
braces {}.
