It's unbelievable. Since 1999 I have used Excel/OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice quite a lot, almost daily. I consider some of my spreadsheets somewhat advanced with macros and long formulas doing some fancy stuff…
Today I accidently ran into the SUMPRODUCT() function and found that it's exactly what I really needed for all those years! How could I manage without it? Until today I could, but now I reached the limits of the combination My brain + No SUMPRODUCT() function… So I started to search the Internet for how to solve a problem that I had, which I couldn't solve with SUMIF or other functions and I found some SUMIF examples. The last example of one web page was however a SUMPRODUCT() example which solved my problem very easily. I could even remove three entire columns in my spreadsheet, every one of which included some complex formulas… I guess the lack of knowledge of the SUMPRODUCT() function forced me to learn quite a few other functions, workarounds and tricks… Maybe this would rather be sent to the Discuss list, but I thought that this could be a hint for other people who didn't know about the SUMPRODUCT() function for some strange reason… Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
