GESTEP
The GESTEP function determines if one value is greater than or exactly equal to
another value. This function uses exact equality. By comparison, the = operator uses
string-based equality.
GESTEP(compare-num, step-number)
 compare-num: The number to compare. compare-num is a number value.
 step-number: The size of the step. step-number is a number value.
Usage Notes
GESTEP returns 1 (TRUE) if  compare-num is greater than or exactly equal to step-
number; otherwise 0 (FALSE) is returned.
Examples
=GESTEP(-4, -5) returns 1 (TRUE), since -4 is greater than -5.
=GESTEP(4, 5) returns 0 (FALSE), since 4 is less than 5.
=GESTEP(5, 4) returns 1 (TRUE), since 5 is greater than 4.
=GESTEP(20, 20) returns 1 (TRUE), since 20 is exactly equal to 20.
