Syntax

ABS(value) - > number

Arguments

Arguments
Datatype
Description

value

Number/Node reference

The node or the number for which you want the absolute of.

Example

In the below table, data of demand and inventory are given. Consider a scenario where you want to calculate the absolute difference between demand and inventory.

Parameter

Week 5

Demand

95

75

78

0

Inventory

85

70

100

80

25

To achieve this, the following formula should be written in the [Absolute Difference] node:

ABS([Demand]-[Inventory])

Result

Note

If ABS is not used the difference between values will be as follows:
