What have you tried? Math.Abs(some value) is pretty straight-forward

If you want help then learn to explain exactly what your code is trying to do, what results you expect, and what results you actually get. Statements like this are no use at all.

If you can't work out how to use a class, or a property, or a method, the first thing to do is try MSDN:
Google: "MSDN Math.Abs"[^]
The result you want is normally near or at the top:
MSDN: Math.Abs Method[^]
This shows the various overloads, so pick the appropriate one: Math.Abs(Double)[^]
This has a good description, and even an example!

Dim absoluteValue As Double = Math.Abs(1234.7123)
