SUMSQ
Returns the sum of the squares of the arguments.
Syntax:
SUMSQ(number1; number2; .... number30)
- number1 to number30 are up to 30 numbers or ranges of numbers which are squared and then summed.
Example:
SUMSQ(2; 3; 4)
- returns 29, which is 2*2 + 3*3 + 4*4.
SUMSQ(A1:A2)
- where A1 contains 1 and A2 contains 2 returns 5, which is 1*1 + 2*2.
