    Do you mean EG: A1*B1 or PRODUCT(A1,B1). Something along those lines!

    Smile Re: Need Help !!! How to multiply 2 adjacent columns with blanks

    Hi,

    the formula works fine with the sample file i attached, however when i transfer it to non-contigous columns it
    gives me #VALUE error..

    i have again attached the original excel file...

    i want to multiply column M x column J (column N should have the formula)

    Thanks in advance

    This looks a bit simpler than your first post suggested.

    Try this in N3 Drag/Fill Down
    Formula: copy to clipboard
