Question

With reference to the sumproduct function, which of the following statements is true? group of answer choices

O the arrays that appear as arguments must be of the same dimension.
O the array appearing as the first argument must be sorted in ascending order.
O any cell that does not satisfy the specified given condition or criteria will not be considered.
O the range of cells for each array must contain only nonzero values.

Answer 1

The true statement about the SUMPRODUCT function is that the arrays must be of the same dimension.

The function does not require the first array to be sorted, all values to be nonzero, or exclude any cells based on conditions.

Therefore, the correct answer is: option 'the arrays that appear as arguments must be of the same dimension.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The SUMPRODUCT function returns the sum of the products of corresponding ranges or arrays.

With reference to the SUMPRODUCT function in spreadsheet software, the statement that is true is: the arrays that appear as arguments must be of the same dimension.

This means that if you are multiplying two or more arrays or ranges together, they must have the same number of rows and columns otherwise, the function will return an error. The function multiplies corresponding elements in the given arrays and returns the sum of those products.

It is not necessary for the first array to be sorted in any particular order, nor does it require all values to be nonzero.

Also, the SUMPRODUCT function will consider all cells in the specified ranges regardless of any conditions; it doesn't filter out cells based on specific criteria.
