SUMSQ
Formulas / SUMSQCalculate the sum of the squares of the provided values.
=SUMSQ(number1,[number2],...)
- number1 - required, numeric value
- number2 - [OPTIONAL] numeric value
Examples
=SUMSQ(1,2)This returns the square of each number added together. In this example, 1 and 2 are squared, then added together. Therefore, the result is 5.
=SUMSQ(1,2,3)This also returns the sum of squares of each number. In this example, 1, 2, and 3 are squared, then added together. Therefore, the result is 14.
=SUMSQ({1,2,3})This is the same as the previous example. However, this example uses curly brackets ({}) to enclose the list of numbers. Therefore, the result is also 14.
