PRODUCT() – Multiplies all numbers in a range

PRODUCT(range)

• range: A continuous range of cells whose numeric values you want to multiply (e.g., T1A1:T1A5).

PRODUCT(T1A1:T1A4)

This formula multiplies all numeric values from cell T1A1 to T1A4.

Example outputs:

• If T1A1:T1A4 = [2, 3, 4, 5] → 120 (2 × 3 × 4 × 5)
• If T1A1:T1A4 = [10, 0.5, 2, empty_cell] → 10 (10 × 0.5 × 2; empty cell ignored)
• If T1A1:T1A4 = ["5", 3, "Text", 2] → 6 (3 × 2; all text, including "5", is ignored)
• If the range T1A1:T1A4 is entirely empty or contains only text/empty cells, MathGrid's PRODUCT() returns 0.

• Numeric multiplication: Only actual numeric values in the range are multiplied.
• Ignores text: All text values within the range, including numbers formatted as text (e.g., "5"), are ignored and do not contribute to the product.
• Ignores empty cells: Blank cells within the range are ignored.
• Empty/Non-numeric range result: If the specified range contains no numeric values (it's empty or contains only text/blanks), this function returns 0 in MathGrid.
• Zero factor: If any numeric value in the range is zero, the entire product will be zero.

• Calculating compound interest or growth rates over several periods.
• Determining the total volume when given multiple dimensions (length × width × height).
• Finding the result of sequential scaling factors.
• Multiplying probabilities.

• Incorrect range specification: Ensure the range is correctly defined (e.g., T1A1:T1A10).
• Textual numbers not converted: MathGrid's PRODUCT() ignores text that looks like numbers (e.g., "5" is treated as text, not the number 5). Data must be in true numeric format to be included.
• Expecting 1 for empty/non-numeric: MathGrid’s PRODUCT() returns 0 when the input range is empty or contains no numeric values.
