Notes
Complex Numbers in Excel are simply stored as text.
When a text string in the format "a + bi" or "a + bj" is supplied to one of Excel's built-in Complex Number Functions, this is interpreted as a complex number.
The complex number functions can accept a simple numeric value, as this is equivalent to a complex number whose imaginary coefficient is equal to 0.
Use COMPLEX to convert real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number.
If inumber is not recognized as a complex number, IMREAL returns the #NUM! error.
If inumber is a logical value, IMREAL returns the #VALUE! error.
Applicability
Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016
