Multiply numbers in different cells by using a formula. You can use the PRODUCT function to multiply numbers, cells, and ranges. You can use any combination of up to 255 numbers or cell references in the PRODUCT function.
The MMULT function returns the matrix product of two arrays. The result is an array with the same number of rows as array1 and the same number of columns as array2.
You can create a simple formula to add, subtract, multiply or divide values in your worksheet. Simple formulas always start with an equal sign ( = ), followed by constants that are numeric values and calculation operators such as plus ( + ), minus ( - ), asterisk ( * ), or forward slash ( / ) signs.
You can use arrays that evaluate as True or False (1 or 0) as criteria by using them as factors (multiplying them by the other arrays). For example, suppose you want to calculate net sales for a particular sales agent by subtracting expenses from gross sales, as in this example. Click a cell outside the ranges you are evaluating.
You can read it as: Look for values greater than or equal to 125,000, unless the value in column C is "South", then look for a value greater than 100,000, and every time both conditions are true, multiply the value by 0.12, the commission amount.
You can also perform the same operation by using the multiply (*) mathematical operator; for example, =A1 * A2. The PRODUCT function is useful when you need to multiply many cells together. For example, the formula = PRODUCT( A1:A3, C1:C3) is equivalent to =A1 * A2 * A3 * C1 * C2 * C3 .
There are four different types of calculation operators: arithmetic, comparison, text concatenation, and reference. To perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, or multiplication—or to combine numbers—and produce numeric results, use the arithmetic operators in this table.
Instead of using a calculator, use Microsoft Excel to do the math! You can enter simple formulas to add, divide, multiply, and subtract two or more numeric values. Or use the AutoSum feature to quickly total a series of values without entering them manually in a formula.
Multiply each item in an array. Create a new worksheet, and then select a block of empty cells four columns wide by three rows high.
Suppose you want to multiply a column of numbers by the same number in another cell. The trick to multiplying a column of numbers by one number is adding $ symbols to that number's cell address in the formula before copying the formula.
Use the IF function along with AND, OR and NOT to perform multiple evaluations if conditions are True or False. The value that you want returned if the result of logical_test is TRUE. The value that you want returned if the result of logical_test is FALSE. Here are overviews of how to structure AND, OR and NOT functions individually.
