Working in Excel, you can perform many different tasks, including mathematical ones. A wide range of program tools allows you to perform the required actions that do not require additional applications. One of such functions is a module - in Excel it is not used so often, but it has an important purpose.
What is a module?
By definition, a module is a mathematical action that returns the absolute value of a number, that is, the number itself without its sign. Despite the specifics, the use of the module can be found not only in solving mathematical problems, but also in economic models, physics, and many other exact sciences.
How to calculate the module in Excel?

- "" "=ABS", , , , , . , " ", , , "" "ABS".

To calculate the module of a given number or mathematical example, for example, the difference 2 and 5, you should use the following record:
= ABS (2-5)
The result of this query will be the number "3".
If you want to calculate the sum of the modules of the elements of the matrix, the values of which are written in the table, with the range A1: C3, the fastest way to find the answer is to construct:
= SUM (ABS (A1: C3))
