I have data in excel and trying to make report as follow.

Below data at Google Drive

+ Col A  +  Col B      +  Col C  +  Col D  +  Col E  + ..... + Col AQ  +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ Price  + Quantity    + Total   +  Jan 1  +  Jan 2  + ..... + Jan 31  +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+        +=sum(D3:AQ3) +=B3*A3   +         +         + ..... + Jan 31  +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+  1     +  7          +   7     +    2    +     5   +.................+
+ 0.568  +  7          + 3.976   +    3    +     4   +.................+
+ 0.345  +  20         +   6.9   +    12   +     8   +.................+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+                      + =SUM(C3:C5) +                                 +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+                      + 17.876  +    ??   +    ??   +.................+

In Col A, I have price of product.

In Col D, Col E, I have dates of that month and for each date I am putting number of that product bought.

Col B is the total of that month for the respective product. So I have used formula as SUM(....)

Col C is holding the amount that is spent on that product.

In Col C, at the last, I have total of Expenses did for that month.

Now what I want is, from Col D onwards, I want Total of expenses for that day only.

I know I can do it by writing formulae =(D3*A3)+(D4*A4)+(D5*A5), but that would be very ugly as I have 235 rows in my data.

Is there any other alternative for this?

Any idea/ suggestion would be appreciated.

Note I don’t want to write MACRO for this and get it done. Any pre-defined excel functions would be helpful.

Answer 1

The Sumproduct function will do exactly what you need. In your example spreadsheet, enter in D7 the formula =sumproduct($A4:$A6,D4:D6) and then copy to the following columns.
