How to Use the SUMPRODUCT Function in Excel (Secret Power Formula)
SUMPRODUCT is one of the most powerful Excel functions for data analysis. It multiplies corresponding values in arrays and returns the sum of those products. It can also act as a substitute for complex formulas using IF, SUMIFS, and more.
📘 Syntax:
=SUMPRODUCT(array1, [array2], ...)✅ Basic Example:
Let’s say you have:
- Quantities in A2:A5:
10, 15, 20, 5 - Prices in B2:B5:
100, 200, 150, 300
Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A5, B2:B5)Result: 10×100 + 15×200 + 20×150 + 5×300 = 9250
🎯 Use Cases:
- Calculating total revenue (price × quantity)
- Conditional counts/sums without helper columns
- Matrix-based calculations
🧠 Pro Tip:
You can even add conditions:
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A5="Apple")*(B2:B5))This adds up values in B2:B5 only when A2:A5 has “Apple”.
⚡ Final Thoughts:
SUMPRODUCT is like Excel’s hidden superpower. Once you master it, your formula game will level up dramatically.
