Problem Solving

A slightly different type of exercise for this unit: a problem to solve.

Enter a formula in cell E5 that will calculate cumulative sales for the product code in D5 to the end of the
period number in E3.

The suggested answer is based on treating the block of values as an array and then applying one criterion
based on the row values and another based on the column values. This uses SUMPRODUCT() and Boolean
logic. An added PivotTable makes it easy to check the result.

As well as the answer shown using SUMPRODUCT() you could also use an Array formula:

{=SUM($E$10:$J$22*(D10:D22=D5)*(E9:J9<=E4))}
