Using formulas in Excel cells is essential for data calculations. How do we apply these formulas within a cell? Here’s a guide on using formulas in Excel cells for your reference.
Steps to Use Formulas:
-
Excel can perform various tasks, such as calculating the sum, average, or product of a set of data. Today, I will demonstrate how to calculate the product of two sets of numbers. First, open Excel and input two sets of sample data as shown.
-
To calculate the product of the selected data (the first set), click on the function button at the top.
-
If you don’t see the product formula in the pop-up menu, select 'More Functions'.
-
In the Insert Function page, if you can't find 'PRODUCT' directly, type 'product' into the search box and click 'Go'.
-
The PRODUCT function will appear at the bottom of your selection list with an explanation stating it calculates all parameters’ products. Select it and click OK to exit this page.
-
Now we begin calculating the product for our first set by selecting that group again; it will be highlighted with dashed lines while displaying results below.
-
After computing for this first group, let’s compute for our second group by clicking on the button next to number2 in function arguments section.
-
As shown here when selecting another dataset from right side settings panel shrinks but still shows both arrays now calculated together; simply hit OK to get their combined product result displayed below.
-
Once confirmed after clicking OK you'll see both datasets’ final multiplied value appears within your chosen cell—note that due to large demonstration values they may not fully display; typically smaller everyday figures would show complete results.
