DPRODUCT(database, field, criteria)

  • Where 'database' is the range of cells that makes up the list or database
  • 'field' shows which column is used in the function and
  • 'criteria' is the range of cells that contains the specified condition.

DPRODUCT() multiplies the values in a column of a list or database that match the specified condition.

Description

DPRODUCT(database, field, criteria)

This function returns the product of values from the database that satisfy a given condition.

  • A 'field' argument can be expressed as "Salary" (a column name) or 3(position of the column).
  • 'criteria' can be any range on the Calci with minimum of one column and at least one row indicating the condition.
  • 'criteria' columns should not overlap the list of data.
  • To calculate the product of all values of certain column, the database range should be used as a criteria argument.

Consider the following table with Stationary Items, Quantity, Price and Percentage Profit.

Item Quantity Price Profit
Pen >10
Item Quantity Price Profit
Pen 12 40 2
Pencil 20 20 1
Books 25 75 5
Pen 30 93.33 4


= DPRODUCT(A3:D7,"Profit",A1:B2) : Calculates the product of percentage profits of Pens in the range A3 to D7, for the cells with Quantity>10. Returns 8 as a result.

= DPRODUCT(A3:D7,4,A3:D7) : Calculates the product in the range A3 to D7, of all values in Profit column. Returns 40 as a result.
