Hi,
If I have a table with which indicates if a number is to be multiplied and then another

whoch states the amout to multiply by so;

so the first row would 2 * 2 *3 *4 and the second would be 3 * 3 what is the best way I have though of switch, obviously if I were summing each I could use an array so;

SUMPRODUCT( B5 *(C3:E3*C5:E5) )

the best i have come up with is just a lot of ifs;

any better ways, let ?

Richard.

    I did not know I could use IF on an array to get a spill of results

    With Excel versions that support dynamic arrays (currently 2021 and 365)
