IMSUM

The IMSUM function in Google Sheets is a powerful tool to calculate the sum of a series of complex numbers. Whether you're working with complex data in science, engineering, or mathematics, the IMSUM function simplifies the task. Dive into our comprehensive guide to master its application.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: IMSUM(value1, [value2, ...])

Parameters:

• value1: The first complex number or range to consider for the sum.
• value2, ...: [Optional] Additional complex numbers or ranges to consider.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Using IMSUM with individual complex numbers:

   • Example: =IMSUM("4+3i", "2-5i")
   • Result: 6-2i

2. Using IMSUM with a range of cells:

   • Example: If A1:A5 has the complex numbers "2+3i", "1-2i", "3-4i", "5+6i", "7-8i", then =IMSUM(A1:A5) will return 18-5i.

Use Cases and Scenarios

1. Electrical Engineering: Calculate the total impedance of a series circuit.
2. Signal Processing: Sum the amplitudes of complex sinusoidal signals.
3. Quantum Mechanics: Compute the sum of complex wavefunctions.
