Get Absolute values on Account Schedules

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ruben.Mejia87 166

Hey Lads!

I have a question, 

Can I get the absolute value in a column (column layout) for the account schedule?

I mean, if on a previous column I have the value, for example, -1,239.00, Can I have another column that might be the absolute value, this would be 1,239.00.

I know that, in that simple example, I just have to do Column * -1... But, let's say that, in some others rows, I will have positive values, and then, on those other columns, we would have a negative as result.

I want to get as result only absolute values.

Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the quick response, but I mean on the functionality 'Account Schedule', so I just need to know if the setup of the column layout on there will allow me to do that.

    Again Thank you

    There’s no native ABS but you can try this: create a new colunm which is a formula of (A*A)^0.5 , where A is your column.
