SUMSQ function

PRO BASIC

The SUMSQ function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a handy tool that calculates the sum of the squares of a group of numbers or cells. For instance, if you have a list of numbers in your spreadsheet, this function will square each of these numbers individually and then add the results together. It's a useful function when you need to carry out statistical calculations or data analysis tasks.

Documentation

Returns the sum of the squares of a range of numbers or cells.

Syntax

SUMSQ(number1, [number2], ...)

Parameter	Description
`number1`	The first number or range to square and add.
`numberN`	Optional. Additional numbers or ranges to square and add.

Behavior

The SUMSQ function is used to return the sum of the squares of a series of numbers and/or cells. Here is how it handles various types of inputs:

Numbers: The SUMSQ function calculates the sum of the squares of the provided numbers.
Empty Cells: If an empty cell is referenced in the function, it will be ignored and not included in the calculation.
Text: If a cell containing text is referenced in the function, SUMSQ will return an error.
Booleans: If a cell containing a boolean value (TRUE or FALSE) is referenced, SUMSQ will convert TRUE to 1 and FALSE to 0 before squaring and summing.
Errors: If a cell containing an error is referenced in the function, SUMSQ will also return an error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error is displayed when one of the arguments or elements in the range contains non-numeric values
#REF!	This error is displayed if the specified cell reference is not valid. This usually happens when a cell is deleted or moved.
#NUM!	This error is displayed if the result of a calculation is too large or too small to be represented in the spreadsheet.

Best practices

Make sure all cells referenced in the SUMSQ function contain numeric values to avoid a #VALUE! error.

Be cautious when deleting or moving cells that are referenced in your SUMSQ function to avoid a #REF! error.

Try not to use extremely large numbers in your SUMSQ function to avoid a #NUM! error.

Use the SUMSQ function instead of manually squaring and summing numbers to save time and reduce the chance of calculation errors.

Usage

A few examples using the SUMSQ function.

SUMSQ(3, 4) returns 25 (since 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25)  
SUMSQ(A2:A6) returns the sum of the squares of the values in cells A2 through A6  
SUMSQ(B2:B6, D2:D6) returns the sum of the squares of the values in both ranges B2 through B6 and D2 through D6
