When working in excel, to find the sum of the quotients of corresponding numbers in two sets, you use a function as follows:
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A5 / B1:B5)
In google spreadsheets though, although the sumproduct function exists, it cannot do division like this.
In case you are not familiar with excel, this is basically what I want to achieve:
Column A: 5, 7, 3, 9, 4 Column B: 3, 2, 9, 8, 4
Result: (5 / 3) + (7 / 2) + (3 / 9) + (9 / 8) + (4 / 4)
Please note I am using google spreadsheets and not excel!
The SUMPRODUCT function returns the sum of the products of corresponding ranges or arrays. The default operation is multiplication, but addition, subtraction, and division are also possible.
The SUMPRODUCT function in Google Sheets is used to calculate the sum of products of two or more arrays, or ranges of cells. The function is entered into a cell, and the arrays or ranges of cells to be multiplied are entered into parentheses after the function.
DIVIDE is a function in Google Sheets that allows you to divide two numbers. To use the DIVIDE function, type "=DIVIDE(x,y)" into a cell, where "x" is the first number you want to divide and "y" is the second number. The DIVIDE function will return the result of the division.
How to use SUMPRODUCT with Multiple Criteria in Excel? We can use it in place of formulas like SUMIF. The criteria can include dates, numbers, and text. For example, the formula “=SUMIF(B1:B5, “<=12”)” adds the values in the cell range B1:B5, which are less than or equal to 12.
Try using the following formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUMPRODUCT(A1:A5 / B1:B5))
