DELTA

Description: Tests whether two values are equal. Returns 1 if Number1 = Number2; returns 0 otherwise. Use this function to filter a set of values. For example, by summing several DELTA functions you calculate the count of equal pairs. This function is also known as the Kronecker Delta function.

Syntax: DELTA(Number1, Number2)

• Number1 is the first number.

• Number2 is the second number.

Remarks:

• Both inputs must be numeric.

Example:

• Check whether 5 equals 4, DELTA(5, 4) = 0 [False]

• Check whether 5 equals 5, DELTA(5, 5) = 1 [True]
