In Google Sheets, the function UPLUS is used to convert a value into a number. It returns the numeric value of the input, regardless of its original format. The UPLUS function is primarily used when you want to ensure that a cell containing a number, text, or other types of data is treated as a number in formulas and calculations.

Here's an example to illustrate how UPLUS works:

Suppose you have the following data in cells A1 to A3: A1: 5 A2: "10" A3: "$15"

If you enter the formula "=SUM(UPLUS(A1:A3))" in another cell, it will convert the values in A1 to A3 into numbers before summing them up. The UPLUS function will convert the text in cell A2 ("10") into the number 10 and the text in cell A3 ("$15") into the number 15. The sum of 5, 10, and 15 will then be calculated as 30.
