DIMENSIONS

DIMENSIONS

Description

Returns the dimension of a numeric value. If there are no dimensions, the function returns an empty string. If the argument is not numeric, the function returns a #VALUE error.
A dimension is a property that can be measured, such as time (T), length (L), or mass (M). A unit is a value of a dimension; for example, seconds (sec) or meters (m).

Syntax

DIMENSIONS(
value
)
  • value
    : The value to return the dimension for.

Example

Formula
Result
=DIMENSIONS(50)
where 50 currently has the "m" (meters) unit
L

Notes

  • Valid dimension values are from the base library javax.measure.unit.Dimension.
  • This function is similar to UNITS(), but UNITS() returns the unit value instead of the dimension value.
