    Unhappy Series in parenthesis of formula

    Hello,

    I have a column of 100 values in column P.
    I need to get a value from these using =(1%*LN(P2))+(1%*LN(P3))+(1%*LN(P4))+(1%*LN(P5))....(1%*LN(P101))

    Can i do this without manually entering every cell value?

    Hi and welcome to the board

    Try =SUMPRODUCT(0.01*LN(P2:P101))

    Ahh SUMPRODUCT. Thank you

    Another one a bit more complicated. The formula is:

    (0.01(p2^0.5)/(0.5))+(0.01(p3^0.5)/(0.5)).....(0.01(p101^0.5)/(0.5))

    Will this then be correct?

    =SUMPRODUCT(0.01*(((P2:P101)^(0.5))/0.5))

    What is the point in multiplying then dividing by the same amount?

    It is not multiplied by 0.5 it is raised to the power of 0.5. Then it is divided by 0.5

    Ooops, that exp symbol shows badly on my screen ( exp .5 may also be replaced by SQRT function)
    The formula seems OK

    or join 0.01 / 0.5

    =SUMPRODUCT(0.02*((P2:P101)^(0.5)))
