Excel formula -> how to change SUMPRODUCT formula to skip null cells -
context is using adjusted sumproduct formula calculate weighted average.
problem is sumproduct includes empty cells in arrays. => weighted average calculated incorrectly.
question is how edit sumproduct exclude empty cells in arrays?
alternatively there clean , neat solution?
in sumproduct, exclude empty cells, suppose you're using on range a1:a100, following:
= sumproduct((a1:a100),--(a1:a100<>""))
that second criteria ensure you're looking @ cells have value in them...
as explanation (a1:a100<>"") return array of true
false
, where, if there value in cell, returns true, otherwise, false. then, including --
before it, converts true/false 1/0. so, in effect, you're multiplying empty cells 0 (excluding formula) , non-empty cells 1 (including them in formula).
the --(logical statement array)
useful trick use sumproduct() in many different ways!!
