EXCEL FUNCTION – SUMPRODUCT
Excel Function SUMPRODUCT
SUMPRODUCT function performs multiplication of numbers within arrays and then sum the values
SUMPRODUCT function has one required argument i.e. array1 and optional argument i.e. [array2]… pulvinar dapibus leo.
Syntax:
=SUMPRODUCT(array1,[array2],...
Syntax Description:
array1 argument is used to give range for which you want to multiply and then sum
[array2] is optional argument and is used to give another range for which you want to multiply and then sum
… means, we can add multiple range by separating them with comma ( , )
Example 1: Excel Function SUMPRODUCT with cell range
- “Column A” shows the array1 argument range,
- “Column B” shows the array2 argument range,
- “Column C” shows the sample formula applied and,
- “Column D” shows the output of the function,
Explanation:
SUMPRODUCT Function will first multiply the values within arrays i.e. 1st value of 1st array, multiply with 1st value of 2nd array (2*1=2)
+ 2nd value of 1st array, multiply with 2nd value of 2nd array (6*5=30)
+ 3rd value of 1st array, multiply with 3rd value of 2nd array (3*4=12)
and then, Sum all the values i.e. 2+30+12=44
i.e. =A2*B2 + A3*B3 + A4*B4 = 44
Things to Remember:
– If function has only one array (i.e. range) then it will Sum all the values
– Multiple ranges can be applied in function by separating them with comma ( , )
– Text/ Blank values will be considered as zero (i.e. 0)
– If No values in range is provided in array argument, then output will return as 0 (zero)
