How can I set a column equate a product of two columns?
How can I set a column equate a product of two columns?
For example, I need put the product of column A and B to column C, So that when I input numbers to A and B, I can get their product in column C ( C=A*B) thanks! |

In cell C1 (Or whatever cell is the first data cell if you have column
headers etc) enter the following:- =A1*B1 or if in cell C2 then:- =A2*B2 Copy formula to bottom Regards, OssieMac "z" wrote: How can I set a column equate a product of two columns?

How can I set a column equate a product of two columns?
Thanks. But I still feel it is too much work to do as I have to copy and
past and modify each line when I input data. What I expected is just set the formula for the column, so every time I fill number to column A and B. I can get results in C automatically. Is this possible? Z "OssieMac" wrote in message ...

Enter this in C1.
=IF(AND(A1<"",B1<""),A1*B1,"") Copy down as far as you wish. To copy down, hover the mouse pointer over the bottom right corner of C1. You will see a small black cross appear. This cross is known as the "Fill Handle" Click on that and drag down the column. The formula will increment automatically to =IF(AND(A2<"",B2<""),A2*B2,"") etc. If no numbers in A or B then the C will look blank until you enter numbers in A and B Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 16 Oct 2007 11:55:12 -0400, "z" wrote: Thanks.

If you want to fill in the formula all the way down column C, but to show
blank instead of zero in the cases where A or B or both is empty, try =IF(COUNT(A1:B1)=2,A1*B1,"") -- David Biddulph "z" wrote in message ... Thanks.
