IMREAL(inumber)

 
 Returns the real coefficient of a complex number in x + yi or x + yj text format.

 inumberThe complex number for which you want the real coefficient.

 REMARKS
 
  • In Excel 2007 (and later) this function has been removed from the Analysis ToolPak add-in and is available as standard.
     
  • In Excel 2003 this function is only available when you have the Analysis ToolPak add-in loaded.
     
  • In Excel 2007 the format returned by this function has been changed so that the imaginary part is displayed in consistent scientific notation.
     
  • If "inumber" is not in the form x + yi or x + yj, then #NUM! is returned.
     
  • You can use the COMPLEX function to convert real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number.

     EXAMPLES
     
     A
    1=IMREAL("6-9i") = 6
    2=IMREAL("-6-9i") = -£6.00
    3=IMREAL("-6-9j") = -£6.00
    4=IMREAL("-9j") = £0.00
    5=IMREAL("some text") = #NUM!
