Example:
Lets suppose we have following numbers and steps, and we have to use the GESTEP function.
Step 1: Now we will write =GESTEP(A2,B2), here A2 and B2 are the number and step values respectively. Now press enter.
Step 2: Now we can say that the Result value is 1 i.e. True . This is because the number value>Step value.
Step 3: Now Drag and select from C2 to C5 and all the values for each row will be automatically calculated.
Step 4: This is the final result of the given question.
Common error:
#VALUE! = This occurs if any of the values or both the values in the GESTEP function are non-numeric.
