What is the syntax of the SERIES function?

To calculate the sum of a series, use the SERIES function in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel.

The basic syntax for the SERIES function is:

Download
Copy code
=SERIES(start, step, stop)
start: The starting value of the series.
step: The common difference between consecutive terms in the series.
stop: The stopping value of the series. The series will not include this value.

Here is an example:

Download
Copy code
=SERIES(1, 2, 10)
In this example, the SERIES function calculates the sum of the series 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, which equals 25.

Remember, if you are working with an open-source spreadsheet program like LibreOffice Calc, you might need to install the ‘solver’ extension or ‘xlfunc’ add-in to access certain Excel functions like SERIES.
