UNARY PLUS Operator (+) - Excel


Overview


The Unary Plus operator (+) in Excel is a useful tool for explicitly indicating that a numeric value is positive. Although this operator is not frequently used because Excel assumes numbers without a sign are positive by default, it can be used for readability in certain situations.

Syntax:

+Value

+ is the unary plus operator.

Value can be a number, a cell reference, or an expression that you want to keep positive.

Example:

+10

The number 10 is being explicitly marked as a positive value.
