Array
The array containing the numbers to multiply together.
Condition
A text string specifying the condition, a number which array elements must be equal to or a formula fragment specifying the condition. Use a text string like ">3"">3" to specify a condition.
If a text string is given, the following operators are supported: < (less than), <= (less than or equal to), > (greater than), >= (greater than or equal to), = and == (equality), <> and != (inequality). "" means "only blank values," "<>" and "!=" mean "only non-blank values."
If a formula fragment is given, it must return a logical value (TRUE or FALSE) specifying whether the element under consideration should be included. To do its work, it has access to the values Element (the array element currently being tested), Index (the numeric position of the array element currently being tested, starting at 1) and Source , the source array.
Returns
The product of the array elements that satisfy a condition.
Returns the product of the array elements that satisfy a condition (multiplying them together). PRODUCTIF ({ 3, 4, 5 }, ">3") PRODUCTIF ({ 3; 4; 5 }; ">3") returns 20 ( 4 * 54 * 5) and not 60 ( 3 * 4 * 53 * 4 * 5), as only 4 and 5 are greater than 3, as specified by the ">3"">3" parameter.
Use & to reference values that reside elsewhere. This formula only considers those array elements which are greater than NumberValue :
PRODUCTIF can use separate arrays, of equal size, for determining which elements to consider and for determining which numbers to multiply together. This version is described further down. Use PRODUCTIFS to use multiple conditions (or use PRODUCTIF with a formula fragment and &&, described below).
This function is not commonly supported by spreadsheets.
Writing conditions
PRODUCTIF supports the following operators: < (less than), <= (less than or equal to), > (greater than), >= (greater than or equal to), = and == (equality), <> and != (inequality).
If the second parameter is set to "" , only blank values are considered. If it is set to "<>" or "!=" , all non-blank values are considered.
If the operator is left out, "=" is assumed. As a result, these formulas are equivalent:
The configured locale is taken into account when parsing numbers that are part of the condition text string, meaning that if the locale is German, a decimal comma (",") should be used as a decimal separator. Similarly, if the locale is Australian English, a decimal point (".") should be used. Thousands separators should not be used and negative numbers should use a leading minus sign ("-").
Specifying the condition using a formula fragment
The second parameter can also be a formula fragment. These formulas are equivalent, with the second one using a formula fragment:
Using a formula fragment gives you access to the full power of the formula locale. Consider this formula:
The formula above returns 5, because only array elements are considered which are greater than 3 and are odd numbers, which disqualifies 3 and 4, leaving only 5.
&& means logical "and," || means logical "or" and ! means logical negation.
This formula returns 60 ( 3 * 4 * 53 * 4 * 5), as 3, 4 and 5 are all considered:
3, 4 and 5 are all considered due to the || operator, which causes all array elements to be considered which are either greater than 3 or are odd.
This formula returns 4, as only 4 is both greater than 3 and is "not odd" (even):
! in ! ISODD (Element) ! ISODD (Element) negates the value returned from ISODD, causing TRUE to become FALSE and vice versa.
The formula fragment is run once for every array element to be tested, and is expected to return TRUE if the element should be considered, and FALSE otherwise. To do its work, it has access to the values Element (the array element currently being tested), Index (the numeric position of the array element currently being tested, starting at 1) and Source , the source array.
Using FILTER, PRODUCT and REDUCE instead of PRODUCTIF
The work PRODUCTIF performs can be divided into two parts: filtering out unwanted array elements and then returning the product of the array elements which made the cut. As such, these formulas are equivalent:
The version using FILTER provides more flexibility, as the final step (multiplying the remaining numbers together through PRODUCT) can be replaced by another function (like SUM, which adds the remaining numbers together), independent of the filtering logic.
For even more flexibility, consider replacing PRODUCT with REDUCE. Refer to the example below for more information.
Examples
Returns 4, as only 4 in the array { 3, 4, 5 }{ 3; 4; 5 } satisfies the "=4""=4" condition.
Returns 4, as only 4 in the array { 3, 4, 5 }{ 3; 4; 5 } satisfies the "4""4" condition. Equality is implied when no operator is specified.
Returns 4, as only 4 in the array { 3, 4, 5 }{ 3; 4; 5 } satisfies the 44 condition. When a plain value is given as the second parameter, equality is implied. If only values equal to another value should be considered, using a plain value instead of a value enclosed in a text string is preferable, as errors can be detected at an earlier stage.
Returns 1.56 ( 1.2 * 1.31,2 * 1,3). It does not return 1.716 ( 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.31,1 * 1,2 * 1,3), as only 1.2 and 1.3 are greater than 1.1, as specified by the ">1.1"">1.1" parameter. A decimal separator appropriate for the configured locale should be used. If that locale is French, for instance, a decimal comma should be used ("1,1" instead of "1.1").
Returns 20 ( 4 * 54 * 5). It does not return 60 ( 3 * 4 * 53 * 4 * 5), as only 4 and 5 are greater than 3, as specified by the Element > 3Element > 3 parameter. This example uses a formula fragment instead of a text string. It is invoked once for every array element considered, and is expected to return TRUE if the value should be considered and FALSE otherwise. To do its work, it has access to the Element value, which is the value under consideration.
Returns 20 ( 4 * 54 * 5). It does not return 60 ( 3 * 4 * 53 * 4 * 5), as only 4 and 5 are greater than 3, as specified by the Element > 3Element > 3 parameter. FILTER first removes array elements which are not greater than 3 (specifically, the element 3). Finally, PRODUCT multiplies the remaining numbers (4 and 5) together and returns the result.
ConditionArray
The array containing the values to test. Only the numbers of the second array, TargetArray , which correspond to the elements of this array which satisfy the condition, are used in the final calculation. Two elements are said to correspond to each other if they are in the same position in their respective arrays.
Condition
A text string specifying the condition, a number which array elements must be equal to or a formula fragment specifying the condition. Use a text string like ">3"">3" to specify a condition.
If a text string is given, the following operators are supported: < (less than), <= (less than or equal to), > (greater than), >= (greater than or equal to), = (equality, case-insensitive for text), == (equality, case-sensitive for text), <> (inequality, case-insensitive for text) and != (inequality, case-sensitive for text). "" means "only blank values," "<>" and "!=" mean "only non-blank values."
If a formula fragment is given, it must return a logical value (TRUE or FALSE) specifying whether the element under consideration should be included. To do its work, it has access to the values Element (the array element currently being tested), Index (the numeric position of the array element currently being tested, starting at 1) and Source , the first array.
TargetArray
The array containing the numbers to multiply together. Only numbers corresponding to elements of the first array which satisfy the given condition are considered. Two elements are said to correspond to each other if they are in the same position in their respective arrays.
Returns
The product of all array elements which satisfy a condition.
Returns the product of all array elements which satisfy a condition (multiplying them together). PRODUCTIF ({ 3, 4, 5 }, ">3", { 30, 40, 50 }) PRODUCTIF ({ 3; 4; 5 }; ">3"; { 30; 40; 50 }) returns 2,000 ( 40 * 5040 * 50) and not 60,000 ( 30 * 40 * 5030 * 40 * 50), as only 4 and 5 of the first array are greater than 3, as specified by the ">3"">3" parameter.
Use & to reference values that reside elsewhere. This formula only considers those elements of the second array which are greater than NumberValue :
PRODUCTIF can use the same array for determining which elements to consider and for determining which numbers to multiply together. This version is described further up. Use PRODUCTIFS to use multiple conditions (or use PRODUCTIF with a formula fragment and &&, described below).
This function is not commonly supported by spreadsheets.
Beyond numbers
The first array does not need to be a number array. This formula returns 1,200 ( 30 * 4030 * 40), as only 30 and 40 correspond to "Eve" in the first array:
Writing conditions
PRODUCTIF supports the following operators: < (less than), <= (less than or equal to), > (greater than), >= (greater than or equal to), = (equality, case-insensitive for text), == (equality, case-sensitive for text), <> (inequality, case-insensitive for text) and != (inequality, case-sensitive for text).
If the second parameter is set to "" , only the blank values of the second array are considered. If it is set to "<>" or "!=" , all non-blank values are considered.
If the operator is left out, "=" is assumed. As a result, these formulas are equivalent:
The configured locale is taken into account when parsing numbers that are part of the condition text string, meaning that if the locale is German, a decimal comma (",") should be used as a decimal separator. Similarly, if the locale is Australian English, a decimal point (".") should be used. Thousands separators should not be used and negative numbers should use a leading minus sign ("-").
Specifying the condition using a formula fragment
The second parameter can also be a formula fragment. These formulas are equivalent, with the second one using a formula fragment:
Using a formula fragment gives you access to the full power of the formula locale. Consider this formula:
The formula above returns 50, because only array elements are considered which are greater than 3 and are odd numbers, which disqualifies 3 and 4, leaving only 5 (corresponding to 50 in the second array).
&& means logical "and," || means logical "or" and ! means logical negation.
This formula returns 60,000 ( 30 * 40 * 5030 * 40 * 50), as 3, 4 and 5 are all considered:
3, 4 and 5 are all considered due to the || operator, which causes all array elements to be considered which are either greater than 3 or are odd (3, 4 and 5 correspond to 30, 40 and 50 in the second array).
This formula returns 40, as only 4 is both greater than 3 and is "not odd" (even):
! in ! ISODD (Element) ! ISODD (Element) negates the value returned from ISODD, causing TRUE to become FALSE and vice versa.
The formula fragment is run once for every array element to be tested, and is expected to return TRUE if the element should be considered, and FALSE otherwise. To do its work, it has access to the values Element (the element of the first array currently being tested), Index (the numeric position of the array element currently being tested, starting at 1) and Source , the first array.
Using wildcards in the condition to match text flexibly
When the first array contains text strings, the condition can use special characters to match multiple text strings. This formula returns 1,000 ( 10 * 10010 * 100), because both "car" and "cat" match the wildcard "ca?":
? matches any character. "ca?" matches not only "car" and "cat", but also "cab", "can" and "cap". However, it does not match "card", because ? matches exactly one character, nor does it match "ca".
* matches no character, a single character, or multiple characters. As such, "ca*" matches everything that "ca?" matches, but also "card", "ca" and "Canada" (matching is case-insensitive).
? and * can be combined in the same pattern. Colo*r ad*s are great? matches both "Color ads are great!" and "Colour adverts are great?".
Sometimes, the special characters ? and * need to be included as-is, and not have special meaning. To achieve that, precede each special character with a tilde ("~"). This formula returns 100, because only "ca*" in the first array matches "ca~*":
In other words, to search for a verbatim "*" character, write "~*". To search for a verbatim "?" character, write "~?". Finally, to search for a verbatim "~" character, write "~~".
Regular expressions are much more powerful than wildcards, but are also harder to learn. Use REGEXMATCH in a formula fragment to use regular expressions with PRODUCTIF.
This formula returns 10, because only "123" matches the "\d\d\d" regular expression (which only accepts exactly three numbers):
Refer to the documentation of REGEXMATCH for more information.
Using FILTER, PRODUCT and REDUCE instead of PRODUCTIF
The work PRODUCTIF performs can be divided into two parts: filtering out the unwanted elements from the first array and then returning the product of the elements of the second array which correspond to the ones in the first array which made the cut. As such, these formulas are equivalent:
The version using FILTER provides more flexibility, as the final step (multiplying the remaining numbers together through PRODUCT) can be replaced by another function (like SUM, which adds the remaining numbers together), independent of the filtering logic.
For even more flexibility, consider replacing PRODUCT with REDUCE. Refer to the example below for more information.
Examples
Returns 40, which corresponds to 4 in the array { 3, 4, 5 }{ 3; 4; 5 }, which is the only element of that array which satisfies the "=4""=4" condition.
Returns 40, which corresponds to 4 in the array { 3, 4, 5 }{ 3; 4; 5 }, which is the only element of that array which satisfies the "4""4" condition. Equality is implied when no operator is specified.
Returns 40, which corresponds to 4 in the array { 3, 4, 5 }{ 3; 4; 5 }, which is the only element of that array which satisfies the 44 condition. When a plain value is given as the second parameter, equality is implied. If only values equal to another value should be considered, using a plain value instead of a value enclosed in a text string is preferable, as errors can be detected at an earlier stage.
Returns 156 ( 12 * 1312 * 13). It does not return 1,716 ( 11 * 12 * 1311 * 12 * 13), as only 1.2 and 1.3 are greater than 1.1, as specified by the ">1.1"">1.1" parameter. A decimal separator appropriate for the configured locale should be used. If that locale is French, for instance, a decimal comma should be used ("1,1" instead of "1.1").
Returns 100, because only "ca*" matches the wildcard "ca~*". ~ written before any other character matches it verbatim, meaning that * does not have special meaning here.
Returns 2,000 ( 40 * 5040 * 50). It does not return 60,000 ( 30 * 40 * 5030 * 40 * 50), as only 4 and 5 of the first array are greater than 3, as specified by the Element > 3Element > 3 parameter. This example uses a formula fragment instead of a text string. It is invoked once for every array element considered, and is expected to return TRUE if the value should be considered and FALSE otherwise. To do its work, it has access to the Element value, which is the value under consideration.
Returns 50, as only 5 in the first array is both greater than 3 and is an odd number and it corresponds to 50 in the second array. Formula fragments have access to the full power of the formula language, enabling complex conditions. && means logical "and," || means logical "or" and ! means logical negation.
Returns 2,000 ( 40 * 5040 * 50). It does not return 60,000 ( 30 * 40 * 5030 * 40 * 50), as only 4 and 5 in the second array are greater than 3. FILTER returns a version of the first array, where elements corresponding to elements of the second array which failed the > 3 test are not present. Finally, PRODUCT multiplies the remaining numbers (40 and 50) together and returns the result.
Returns 10, because only "123" matches the "\d\d\d" regular expression (which only accepts exactly three numbers). Refer to the documentation of REGEXMATCH for more information.
