The PRODUCT() function returns the product of it's arguments.

  • The syntax for the function is PRODUCT (number 1, number 2, ....numnber n).

The arguments "number 1, number2,....number n" can be numerical values, logical values, cell references to values, named ranges or arrays.There can be up to 30 arguments each multiplied together to find the resulting product. However if a referenced cell or element of an array is empty or contains logical values, text or errors the PRODUCT functtion will ignore the argument.

The PRODUCT function can return integer and non integer decimals as results of the product. For example: PRODUCT(2.13, 10) =21.3 and PRODUCT(5.2, 4.6, -8.6) = -205.712

Although referenced logical values are ignored by the function it can accept logical values as arguments when they are entered directly e.g PRODUCT(TRUE,TRUE,TRUE)=1 and PRODUCT(TRUE,FALSE,TRUE)=0.
