IMREAL function

PRO BASIC

The IMREAL function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is used to extract the real part of a complex number. When you provide a complex number as input into this function, it processes this data and returns the real coefficient. This is handy when you're dealing with complex numbers and need to isolate the real part for further calculations. It's a simple and straightforward way to break down complex numbers in your sheets.

Documentation

Returns the real coefficient of a complex number.

Syntax

IMREAL(inumber)

Parameter	Description
`inumber`	The complex number for which you want to return the real coefficient.

Behavior

The IMREAL function is used to return the real coefficient of a complex number. The complex number is provided in the form of 'x+yi' or 'x+yj', i.e., a real number followed by a '+' or '-' sign, followed by an imaginary number with 'i' or 'j'.

If an empty cell is provided as an input, the IMREAL function will return a #VALUE! error.
If the input provided is text that does not conform to the complex number format, the IMREAL function will return a #NUM! error.
If a boolean value (TRUE or FALSE) is provided as an input, the IMREAL function will treat it as a numerical value: TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0.
If a purely real number is provided as an input, the IMREAL function will return that number. For example, IMREAL("5") will return 5.
If a purely imaginary number is provided as an input, the IMREAL function will return 0. For example, IMREAL("5i") will return 0.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	Occurs when the input cell is empty or contains a data type that cannot be processed.
#NUM!	This error occurs when the input provided is a text that does not conform to the complex number format.

Best practices

Always ensure that the complex number is correctly formatted as "x+yi" or "x-yi". Any deviation from this format will result in errors.

Use the IMREAL function to extract the real coefficient from a complex number when you perform calculations involving complex numbers.

Be cognizant of how the IMREAL function handles different data types (e.g., empty cells, text, boolean values) to avoid unexpected errors.

Always check for common errors such as #VALUE!, #NUM!, and #NAME? that may occur when using the IMREAL function.

Usage

A few examples using the IMREAL function.

IMREAL("5") returns 5  
IMREAL("0+7i") returns 0  
IMREAL("0-4j") returns 0
