Formulas / SQRT
Calculate the positive square root of a number.
=SQRT(number)
  • number - required, the number to get the square root of

Examples

  • =SQRT(9)

    The SQRT function is used in Sourcetable to calculate the square root of a number. For example, if you enter the formula in a cell, the result will be 3.

  • =SQRT(0.25)

    The SQRT function can also be used to calculate the square root of decimal numbers. For example, if you enter the formula into a cell, the result will be 0.5.

  • =SQRT(81)

    The SQRT function can also be used to calculate the square root of larger numbers. For example, if you enter the formula into a cell, the result will be 9.

  • =SQRT(144)

    The SQRT function can also be used to calculate the square root of even larger numbers. For example, if you enter the formula into a cell, the result will be 12.


Summary

The SQRT function is used to calculate the positive square root of a number. It requires one number argument to return the result.

  • The SQRT function requires one numeric argument and returns the square root of that argument.
  • If the argument is negative, the SQRT function will return a #NUM! error.
