1. database (required):
   The range of cells that makes up the database. Each column in the database should contain a different type of data, such as names, dates, or numbers.
2. field (required):
   The column or field that contains the values to be multiplied.
3. criteria (required):
   The range of cells that contains the criteria for which values to include in the product. Each column in the criteria range should correspond to a column in the database and contain a different criterion, such as a name, date, or number.

Examples

Calculate the product of a range of numbers

Suppose you have a database of sales figures and you want to calculate the product of all the sales that occurred in January. You can use DPRODUCT to multiply the values in the 'Sales' column that correspond to January dates in the 'Date' column.

Calculate the product of a range of numbers that meet multiple criteria

Suppose you have a database of student grades and you want to calculate the product of all the grades for students that received an A in the 'English' class. You can use DPRODUCT to multiply the values in the 'Grade' column that correspond to students that received an A in the 'English' class.

Calculate the product of a range of numbers that meet a single criterion

Suppose you have a database of inventory items and you want to calculate the product of all the prices for items that have a quantity of 10 or more. You can use DPRODUCT to multiply the values in the 'Price' column that correspond to items with a quantity of 10 or more in the 'Quantity' column.

Common Mistakes

Incorrect range for database

One common mistake is selecting the wrong range for the database argument. Make sure that the range includes all the rows and columns of the data you want to use.

Incorrect field for field

Missing or incorrect criteria

A common mistake is leaving the criteria argument empty, which results in all rows being included in the multiplication. Make sure to specify the criteria you want to use to filter the data.
