SUMSQ

Description: Returns the sum of the squares of the arguments.

Syntax: SUMSQ(Number1, Number2, ...)

• Number1, Number2, ... are 1 to 30 arguments for which you want the sum of the squares. You can also use a single array or a reference to an array instead of arguments separated by commas.

Remarks:

• Arguments can either be numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.

• Numbers, logical values, and text representations of numbers that you type directly into the list of arguments are counted.

• If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are counted. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored.

• Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause errors.

Example:

• SUMSQ(3, 4) = 25 [the sum of the squares of 3 and 4]
