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
