5 practical examples

1

Calculate weighted revenue

Multiply quantity by price and total the result.

=SUMPRODUCT(Orders[Qty],Orders[Price])

Avoids helper columns for simple row-by-row math.

2

Weighted average

Calculate weighted average score.

=SUMPRODUCT(Scores[Score],Scores[Weight])/SUM(Scores[Weight])

A classic weighted average pattern.

3

Conditional total

Sum amounts where region is East.

=SUMPRODUCT((Sales[Region]="East")*Sales[Amount])

TRUE/FALSE tests become 1/0 values.

4

Count rows with two conditions

Count rows matching product and region.

=SUMPRODUCT((Sales[Product]=H2)*(Sales[Region]=H3))

A flexible alternative to COUNTIFS.

5

Total by month

Sum amounts for one month using date tests.

=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(Sales[Date],"yyyymm")=TEXT(H1,"yyyymm"))*Sales[Amount])

Useful when dates are daily but reports are monthly.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Selecting ranges with different sizes.
  • Using text values where numbers are required.
  • Forgetting how blanks and hidden rows are treated.
