Question

I have two columns I do the sumproduct operation on them this way:

=SUMPRODUCT(I37:I61, **D37:D61**)

and it works perfectly well – I put the result in the cell I8

but when I copy this function to cell J8

it transfers to:

=SUMPRODUCT(J37:J61, **E37:E61**)

I want TO FIX one array, so my function would look like

=SUMPRODUCT(J37:J61, D37:D61)

I hope it’s clear what do I want to achieve 🙂

are there any ways to do so?

Not sure about google spreadsheet, but in microsoft Excel you would need to use below formula for ur use. I think same will work in Google Spreadsheet too.

=SUMPRODUCT(I37:I61, $D37:$D61)

Notice ‘$’ which says not to translate D when you do copy-paste.
