How to Use SUMPRODUCT in Excel

[@LeilaGharani]

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

[@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.

[@vishnu2avv]

This video saved me ton of efforts. I was trying to multiple around 365 columns with 5 other columns to calculate revenue for entire year. This video helped me to do all that without additional calculations & merging. THANK YOU!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it helped!

[@helenfideliaful]

Thanks!

Thank you!

[@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!!!

[@laman8914]

Love this Lady. Her explanations are always perfect. Btw, we think the average price should be a weighted average price since the quantities for each price differ, but that can also be done using the sumproduct function. I used this function many times before, but never saw it this elaborate. Once more, thank you.

[@TheFilthyBeaker]

Thanks!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you!

[@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!

[@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?

[@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.

[@TJMelrose]

I wish I could give this video 1000 thumbs-up. I finally understand SUMPRODUCT well enough to use it on my own. Thank you Leila Gharani!

[@LeilaGharani]

I'm already happy with the one thumbs up :) I'm glad the video is helpful Thomas.

Awesome, very detailed, deep dive in every way of the formula, I love your education, I didn't understand this formula deeply until I watched your videos. Thank you so much !

[@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.

[@kaigeertsma6139]

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!

[@sachinrv1]

Hi Leila, you have made life so easy for all of us. The only thing one has to do is turn on KZbin and watch your channel. You have so precisely explained use of comma and aster sign while using SUMPRODUCT.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you so much Sachin for your continuous support. It means a lot!

[@sachinrv1]

@@LeilaGharani Thanks for your lovely words :). Taking this SUMPRODUCT a step further, request you to upload video on using SUMPRODUCT to add up values containing specific whole number in range of cells :)

[@petemurphy7164]

Yeah, I agree, I even have done a few of her courses online through Udemy. At my work now I am now considered a bit of an Excel Guru... These videos have really helped.

[@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.

[@EliotPowell]

First, I have only recently discovered your KZbin channel, and I find it to be super helpful, and secondly, your explanation and uses for SUMPRODUCT will absolutely change the way I use Excel. A few comments: 1. Typos in the SUMPRODUCT_Excel_Explained_Free_Worknook_Xelplus: in Cells H23, H24 and H25 the word is SUMPRODUCT (not “SUMPRODCUT”) 2. In practicality, I find the Average Price calculation misleading. Revenue of 98,200 divided by a quantity of 470 units is 208.94. Your calculation of 208.40 is effectively a simple average of the 5 prices, not reflective of how much was sold. 3. Curiously, when you double check the Average Price (around 13:45 of the video), the Status Bar shows an average value for the highlighted values in cells D46, D47, D48, D50 and D52 of 208. I get the same result of 208 when highlighting the numbers in the same sequence (D46, D47, D48, D50, then D52) 4. The numbers in those cells (100, 200, 320, 222, and 200) actually have an average of 208.4. Somehow, the Status Bar shows a different (incorrect?) number of 208. 5. Even more curious, on my computer, when I highlight the cells from your file in reverse order (D52, D50, D48, D47, then D46) the Status Bar shows the correct Average Price of 208.4 … I don’t know why this is, but I am hoping you can explain it!

[@rauljimenez5485]

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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@hadibq]

Great demo for this great function! the array aspect of it now got a bit forgotten by old-timers with all the new array native functions. TY

[@williamedgarperrigo9813]

Super clear demonstration. Short and precise. Thank you!

[@bamakaze]

Thanks again, Leila!

[@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.

[@atps]

@ Leila Gharani, your channel is amazing. Every time I watch a video, I gain specific useful knowledge to put in good use. Thank you for the great videos.

[@LeilaGharani]

[@atps]

@@LeilaGharani , the content you provide is outstanding. I've had a personal project for several years now. I've been improving it using the knowledge from your videos. Due to the episode explaining INDEX and MATCH, and their combination, I was able to get rid of the clunky VLOOKUPs. I was in the process of implementing new features and automation to the project (struggling for several days, stacking IFs, ANDs, ORs, NOWs and INTs on top of one another) when I stumbled on this video, I could quite easily understand how the SUMPRODUCT function works and how powerful it really is. Then, in a matter of less than an hour, I managed to solve my problems with a concise and neat expanded SUMPRODUCT function, or as it was later called in my notes "The Magic Formula". Once again, your content is really helpful, comprehensive and easy to understand and implement. *THUMBS UP*

Leila, thanks for sharing this exquisite function. Usually we tend to use countif/s, sumif/s for they are quite a simpler than sumproduct. The slight rigidity of sumproduct is in understanding use of "*" ,"+" and "=". This will take a person little while to get hang on to. But still surely useful. Thanks again...

[@LeilaGharani]

Yes, true - we have to be careful with the brackets too when using SUMPRODUCT. But the great thing about it, is it can simply do OR conditions which the SUMIFS can't do easily - (unless we use two or more SUMIFS functions or wrap the SUMIFS inside a SUMPRODUCT function :) )
