⬇️ Download the workbook: pages.xelplus.com/sumproduct-...
🔑 Key Highlights:
▪️ Start with basic SUMPRODUCT uses - perfect for those new to Excel.
▪️ Advanced Applications: See how SUMPRODUCT can replace complex functions like VLOOKUP and SUMIFS.
▪️ Real-World Examples: From calculating revenue to performing OR conditions, learn through practical scenarios.
▪️ Pro Tips: Crucial syntax tips for error-free usage.
The classical use of Excel's SUMPRODUCT function is to do a sum of multiplications. The good thing about SUMPRODUCT is that it can work on arrays of values and it doesn’t have to be entered as an array function so no need to do control + shift + enter (CSE).
The great thing about SUMPRODUCT, is that it can help solve many more problems in non-obvious ways. It can act as a conditional SUMIFS function or work as a lookup function as INDEX and MATCH does. It can also act as a COUNTIF function.
SUMPRODUCT is also a better SUMIFS, because it can check for OR conditions - which the SUMIFS can't. SUMIFS can only check for AND conditions.
In this video you will see different examples of the SUMPRODUCT function and you will learn how it can save you from unnecessary "workarounds" in your Excel files. It will also show you the SUMPRODUCT formula in slow motion.

Grab the file I used in the video from here 👉 pages.xelplus.com/sumproduct-file

[@jimbarton7072]

One of your very best videos! Not only did I learn something about SUMPRODUCT, but your "slow motion" explanation is elegant and understandable. I try something similar when teaching SUMIFS, but you've really clarified it.

[@CheerfulMillie]

Super clear demonstration. Short and precise. Thank you!

[@smithanimal]

I can't believe how helpful this video was. As someone somewhat advanced in Excel the concept of SUMPRODUCT's utility has always somewhat evaded me. This video was laid out in such a perfect and simple format I completely grasp how the command is actually calculating now. I'm going to turn to your channel for any excel help. Nicely done!

[@LeilaGharani]

I‘m very glad to hear that Corey! Thank you.

[@rauljimenez5485]

The simplicity and elegance of this use of sumproduct is genious, you rock!! 😀

[@excelymasoficial]

EXCELlent!!! Thank you Leila!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you +Otto Javier. You have Excellent videos yourself! Great quality! Very impressive. Are they all in Spanish?

[@excelymasoficial]

Thanks for your appreciation. Yes, they are all in Spanish. I have seriously considered putting subtitles to each of them. :) Best regards!

[@williamarthur4801]

I've always loved Sumproduct, it does so much; and nice to hear / see someone emphasizing the importance of bracketing, I ended up creating a crib sheet of every AND / OR combination I could think as I was always getting confused. Still do for that matter.

[@johnsonbolhayon4790]

Wow..... Just wow! This helps a lot with my excel problems. Still watching a lot of your contents and they are all very helpful since you're so good at explaining the concept really well. You have an exceptional/genius skills in excel! I'll watch them all and proceed with your VBA next. 😉

[@robertofelce]

The hot tip for the + meaning or, blew my mind. Didn't know about it. Thank you so much!

[@LeilaGharani]

You are so welcome, Roberto!

[@lpanebr]

This is awesome. Everytime I think "oh, I already know about this function" I'm wrong, because there is always something new to learn with your videos. Thank you!

[@LeilaGharani]

It happens to me all the time :)

[@tamilarasans3737]

Your videos are amazing, i have a doubt regarding if lot of datas are there with respect to date...for example for 20 years .how to get month average of every month without using match or lookup or any cell reference formula.

[@snicho]

This just became my favourite explanation of the SUMPRODUCT function! All of the blog posts about SUMPRODUCT that I had previously bookmarked are now redundant. Great job Leila!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that snicho :)

[@shaolinmaster6362]

I love Leila!!! My favorite excel teacher!! I recommend her to everyone who wishes to expand their knowledge about any aspect of this tool!!!

[@ImHewg]

Hey great video, the way you throughly explain everything amazing and made it easy to understand exactly how it all works. Thank you so much!

[@anhkimnguyen2223]

You explained this so articulately, made it really easy to understand. Thank you so much!

[@anonanon9823]

Thank you for creating such useful content! I always make sure to revisit them so that I don't forget anything!

[@garyshorn]

This was a wonderful tutorial. Had been doing vlookup with multiple "ifs" till now. This was amazing.

[@Jenicek25]

Your videos are so great - clear, meaningful examples, usefult tips. Thanks very much!!

[@Asgardskasvinucha]

Thank you Leila, I didn't know this great potential of this function before I watched this video. Today, inspired by your video, I used it in another way than usually (combined with "left()") and worked great 🙂

[@jackfrost1031]

Another great video. This sort of formula is really elegant. It makes multi condition statements so much easier and takes very few helper cells.

[@avinashbaswante7186]

Your Lectures are really helpful M'am, Thank you!!

[@kapilprasannaa]

This helped me so much in my Excel interview today. I used sumproduct instead of countifs and sumifs and the interviewer was visibly impressed. Thank you so much - you will have a lot of good karma (and business) for doing this.

[@LeilaGharani]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@horvathgabor5485]

@@LeilaGharani Wow... I'm very courious of it... what kind of task could it have been where I use sumproduct instead of countifs and sumifs? Could you or maybe Kapil P please give an example?

[@horvathgabor5485]

Meanwhile I studied "sumproduct", now I know that it can be used as countif (count quantity, as in this video, no numbers will be counted) and sumif (when there is only 1 array, so there's no multiplicaton)

[@TruthofDilly]

​@@LeilaGharani there any way I can add up a certain product in a list of many different items?

[@sunnyn9017]

Hello!! This is an amazing channel! I used Sumifs, index match mainly but not Sum product. I knew more than most in both organisations over the past decade but, this is a game changer! Thank you so much!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it's helpful for you. Sumproduct really can be quite useful.

[@mithunghosh2767]

Hi Leila - thanks a ton for your videos. They have been really helpful

[@frankie3005]

Superb. Without a doubt, you're excel guru. Someone called me yesterday guru because I made for them a simple software. But you're the real guru you're teaching billions of people around the world.

[@lmcbunnylove]

Thank you so much! It was immensely helpful!

[@jochbo]

Thanks Leila for showing us the + and * trick when doing OR and AND!

[@mahatarek2982]

[@merissawong1883]

I finally understand sumproduct. Thank you! Could you provide a video on how to incorporate multiple named ranges as the criteria in sumproduct?

[@williamedgarperrigo9813]

i’ve worked with sumproduct but this segment cleared up unanswered questions. Thank you!

[@tarat700]

I spend hours to build a formula of index, match, countif and sum to find the sum value of a customer, But after watching this video for 3 minutes I see that SUMPRODUCT does exactly what I want lol. Thanks Leila Gharani, your tutorials are amazing!

[@LeilaGharani]

I'm glad I could help with that Kai.

each time I see your video I know I'm going to be surprised. This one is not an exception. Thank you for sharing.

[@DouDouMa]

I have been using excel for work for quite sometime. Have been searching what function can perform both sumif & sumproduct at the same time. Finally, found this video! This is the most powerful function I have learnt in Excel so far! The tutorial had explained the function very clearly that make very easy to understand & apply! Also found that besides "+", can also use "-" to exclude some conditions. Thanks a lot!

[@LeilaGharani]

You're very welcome. Glad you liked the explanation. True. SUMPRODUCT is so versatile by itself and on top it can be combined with other functions to create impressive one formula arrays.

[@kamelgameel1250]

Great lecture, This is totally useful thanks Leila
