Absolutely! With the power of Google Apps Script in Google Sheets, you can create your own custom functions. Here's an implementation for your specific request: function ABSUM(range) { var sum = 0; range.forEach(function(value) { sum += Math.abs(value); }); return sum; } Save this function in your Google Sheets script editor, and then you can use it by typing =ABSUM(A1:A10), where A1:A10 represents the range of numbers you wish to calculate the sum of absolute values for.

Yes, you can create a custom function using Google Apps Script to accomplish that. Here's an example code snippet: function ABSUM(range) { var sum = 0; range.forEach(function(value) { sum += Math.abs(value); }); return sum; } Once you've added this function to your Google Sheets, you can use it by typing =ABSUM(A1:A10), replacing A1:A10 with your desired range.
