GESTEP function
PRO
BASIC
In Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro, the GESTEP
function helps you determine if a particular number surpasses a set threshold value. If the number in question is greater than or equal to the threshold, the function will return 1, indicating a TRUE outcome. However, if the number is less than the threshold, it will return 0, indicating a FALSE outcome. This function is a simple way to perform quick numerical comparisons.
Documentation
Returns a numeric value indicating whether a number is greater than a threshold value, 1 for TRUE, 0 for FALSE.

Syntax
GESTEP(number, step)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
number |
The number you want to test whether it is greater than the step value. |
step |
The threshold value that determines whether the number is greater. If the number is greater than or equal to the step value, GESTEP returns 1; otherwise, it returns 0. |
Behavior
The GESTEP
function is used to test whether a number is greater than a step value. The function will return 1 if the number is greater than or equal to the step value, and 0 if the number is less than the step value.
- If the step value is not provided, the function will automatically use 0 as the step value.
- If the input number is a text value, the function will return a #VALUE! error.
- If the input number is a boolean, TRUE will be regarded as 1 and FALSE as 0.
- If the cell is empty, the function will also consider it as 0.
- Error values in the number or step will result in an error in the function.
Common Errors
Error | Description |
---|---|
#VALUE! | This error occurs when the given input is non-numeric. |
#N/A | This error occurs when the required number argument is missing. |
Best practices
- Always ensure the input values are numerical to avoid errors.
- If you expect some cells to be empty or non-numerical, it is recommended to use error handling functions to manage such possibilities and make your function more robust.
- Be mindful when omitting the step value, the function will use 0 as the default step value.
- Use clear and descriptive names for your cells to make your formulas easier to understand and debug.
Usage
A few examples using the GESTEP function.
GESTEP(5, 3) returns 1
GESTEP(10, 20) returns 0
GESTEP(A1, 0) where A1 contains -4 returns 0
