SQL Essentials: ABS Function Explained
Overview
When working with numerical data in NetSuite Saved Searches, the ABS function is a valuable tool for handling absolute values. This function allows you to remove the negative sign from a number, ensuring you work with positive values only, which is particularly useful for various calculations and analyses.
Understanding the Syntax
ABS(number)
Here, 'number' represents the numerical field or expression you want to convert to its absolute value. The function returns the positive value of the input.
For example:
You've created a Transaction Saved Search to display the total amount of Return Authorizations, but the amount shows as a negative value, which can be confusing for users.
