TYPE (InputValue)
- where, is an input value.
- TYPE(), returns a number indicating the data type of a value.
is an input value.
Description
TYPE(InputValue)
- TYPE() function can be used when the behavior of some function depends on the type of particular input value.
- Argument can be a number, text, a logical value, array etc.
- Below table shows the 'Return Type' with respect to the values:
| VALUE | RETURN TYPE |
|---|---|
| Number | 1 |
| Text | 2 |
| Logical Value | 4 |
| Error Value | 16 |
| Array | 64 |
- If value of a cell reference is a formula, TYPE() displays the type of the formula's resulting value.
Examples
Consider the following example in Calci that shows the use of TYPE function:

| TRUE |
=TYPE(A1) : Returns the type for number value. Displays 1 as a result. =TYPE(A2) : Returns the type for number value. Displays 1 as a result. =TYPE(A3) : Returns the type for a text value. Displays 2 as a result. =TYPE(A4) : Returns the type for a logical value. Displays 4 as a result. =TYPE(A1+100) : Returns the type for resulting number value from a formula. Displays 1 as a result. =TYPE([1,2;3,4]) : Returns the type for an array value. Displays 64 as a result.
