SUMDIVISION Formula - does it exist?
Use either the array formula:
=SUM(E7:E16/D7:D16)
Array entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter not just Enter
Or if you want to normally enter:
=SUMPRODUCT(E7:E16/D7:D16)

I would describe myself as an intermediate Excel user
I am familiar with the use of formulas to increase the productivity of
Excel.
One common formula I have used frequently is SUMPRODUCT which calculates
the
sum of two arrays.
However I have a requirement for a formula that might be described as
SUMDIVISION - i.e. exactly the same function as SUMPRODUCT but dividing
instead of multiplying.
I have looked in the formula lists but I cannot find one that fits the
bill.
I have constructed this formula manually (a real hassle!) but you can only
have so many characters in your formula and I have run out - these are
relatively large arrays I am dealing with.
Does anybody have any advice they can offer?
