# GESTEP Function

The GESTEP function is one of the engineering functions. It is used to test if a number is greater than a threshold value. The function returns 1 if the number is greater than or equal to the threshold value and 0 otherwise.

The GESTEP function syntax is:

GESTEP(number [, step])

where

number is a number to compare with step.

step is a threshold value. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the function will assume step to be 0.

The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.
