Excel: Scalar product of two ranges
I am trying to find a proper way to calculate the scalar product of two ranges. For instance, the product of A1:A3 and B1:B3 would be A1*B1 + A2*B2 + A3*B3. Is there a good way to do this? Hardcoding this calculation is quite a tedious thing to do with large ranges.
Use this one
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3,B1:B3)
SUMPRODUCT formula – syntax and usage
Excel SUMPRODUCT formula - tutorialThe sum-product formula syntax is very simple. It takes 1 or more arrays of numbers and gets the sum of products of corresponding numbers.
The syntax is =SUMPRODUCT (list 1, list 2 ...)
