How to use IMLOG10 Google Sheets formula?

The syntax for the IMLOG10 formula is =IMLOG10(value), it has 1 required parameter.

Why is IMLOG10 Google Sheets formula not working?

One common reason the IMLOG10 formula may not be working is due to providing non-complex argument. The <code>IMLOG10</code> function requires a complex number as its argument, providing a non-complex argument will result in an error.

IMLOG10

The IMLOG10 function returns the base-10 logarithm of a complex number in rectangular form. It is commonly used in engineering calculations involving AC circuits, such as determining the voltage and current in a circuit. The function takes one parameter, the complex number in rectangular form.

Using incorrect syntax when calling the IMLOG10 function will result in an error.

The following functions are similar to IMLOG10 or are often used with it in a formula:

IMLN
The IMLN function returns the natural logarithm of a complex number. It takes one required parameter, complex_value, which is the complex number for which to calculate the natural logarithm.
IMPRODUCT
The IMPRODUCT function in Google Sheets returns the product of multiple complex numbers. It takes in one or more complex numbers as input arguments and calculates their product. Complex numbers must be entered in the format a+bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. This function is commonly used in engineering and scientific applications.
