as like sumif and sumifs, sumproduct too, extract the data from a particular column. Syntax is below

\=SUMPRODUCT(array1,[array2],[array3],…)

The SUMPRODUCT function uses the following arguments:

1. Array1 (required argument) – This is the first array or range that we wish to multiply and subsequently add.

2. Array2, Array 3 (optional argument) – This is the second (or third) array or range that we wish to multiply and subsequently add.

Example

let say we have table range of a2:c10, where a column have fruit name, b column gave the rate per kg and c column have quantity. We need to calculate the total sale of each fruit so we can use sumproduct as below

\=sumproduct(b2:b10,c2,c10)

this will give the result in d2:d10 as the product of each cell of b2 till c10, i.e b2*c2, b3*c3 and so on.

We can use sumproduct to extract data from particular column based on multiple criteria

example

let say we have table range of a2:c10, where a column have fruit name, b column gave the rate per kg and c column have quantity. We need to calculate the total sale of each fruit so we can use sumproduct as below

let say we need to get the sum of rates of fruits whose sold quantity is more than 10 kg and rate is less than 50 . We know that quantity is there in column c and rate is there in column b

\=sumproduct(Table range,1*(b2:b10=50)*(c2:c10=10))

Sumproduct is power exccel formula.

This formula works on numbers. If you want to fetch some numerical figures with respect to particular string content (example rate of particular book from a books rate sheet) from a particular column based on multiple criteria, you can use this formula.

Syntax itself says =Sumifs(sum range, criteria1 range, criteria1, criteria2 range, criteria2, criteria3 range, criteria3....)

sum range = range of numerical data that need sum up and to be provided

Cirteria Range= Range or Column where the condition/criteria can be found

Criteria= condition that need to be matched

example

From a table range, we need to get the rate of math, statistics and economics book which was published in 2023 and which is in English language.

Here, numerical data to be found is the rate or cost price(lets say this info is available in column d) of the book. Table range(let say a2:k100) is the table sheet in which all the information related to the books is available. There are two criteria.

1. Book should be published in 2023(lets say this info is available in column i)

2. Book should be in English language.(lets say this info is available in column g)

So formulae would be

\=sumifs(d2:d100,"Maths",i2:i100,"English",g2:g100)

This will give the rate of Maths book which is in English language and which is published in 2023

The Above formula will be useful for situation where multiple conditions are there(as one above of year and language), but when there is only one condition, we can use SUMIF function which have same syntax but with position interchange as below

Syntax

\=Sumif( criteria1 range, criteria1, sum range,)

sum range = range of numerical data that need sum up and to be provided

Criteria range= Cirteria Range= Range or Column where the condition/criteria can be found

Criteria= condition that need to be matched

SumIf and Sumifs are powerful functions that can be used to get numerical data. Please note that these formulas works only when you need to fetch out a particular figure/number from certain column based on required criteria/criteria's
