    PRODUCT function

    I thought I understood how to use the PRODUCT command until I saw this
    formula:

    {=PRODUCT(D61:D76+1)-1

    I know that =PRODUCT(D61:D76) would multiply the entries in cells D61
    through D76 together, but what does that +1 do that is next to the last
    entry in the range?

    Re: PRODUCT function

    As an array function, the +1 adds 1 to each entry in the range before multiplying all the entries together. You can see this using the Evaluate formula tool: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...6-a70aa409b8a7
