    Help with creating simple product formula from column to column for each row.

    Hello,..

    I want to simply have the cells in one column be the product of cells in two other columns, and have the whole spreadsheet do this at the same time without having to put the formula into every single cell.

    Example: I have a column with a quantity of an Item (column D). I have another column with the price of each item (column E). I want column (F) to be the product of column D and column E per each Row,.. i.e., 5 items (column D, row 8) x $2.00 (column E, row 8) = $10.00 (column F, row 8). uugghhh!! This just be soo simple, yet I can't find the answer anywhere,..

    Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer,...


    Kindly,

    Brett

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Actually, its more than just corss your i's and dot your t's lol, its about making the title something that will come up in a search for something similar. "So simple, yet I cant...." is hardly the wording that anyone would use in a search

    OK having said that, and if I understand you correctly, it sounds like you need to look at using the sumproduct() function - that is, if you want the total of A1*X1 + A2*X2 + A3*X3 etc.

    maybe something like =sumproduct(A1:A10*B1:B10)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
