what does + signify

[costadina]

Hi all.

I can't find the answer to this. I found this formula on a spreadsheet, and I would like to know what the "+" sign before the "R" is for.

=+R10*S10

Thanks in advance.

Depending on your keyboard configuration "+" is just a one-key pressing that almost always yields the same results that "=", Excel recognizes "=", "+", "-" as a formula. So most probably, someone just saved a key pressing.
