Returns a value of the same type that is passed to it specifying the absolute value of a number.
Syntax
Abs(number)
The required number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number contains Null, Null is returned; if it is an uninitialized variable, zero is returned.
Remarks
The absolute value of a number is its unsigned magnitude. For example, ABS(-1) and ABS(1) both return 1.
Example
This example uses the Abs function to compute the absolute value of a number.
Dim MyNumber
MyNumber = Abs(50.3) ' Returns 50.3.
MyNumber = Abs(-50.3) ' Returns 50.3.
