Although not as well known as the SUM function, the PRODUCT function does a similar job. Both functions make it easier to carry out mathematical operations in an Excel spreadsheet.

In particular, the PRODUCT function provides a quick way to multiply numbers without having to create formulas all the time.

It can be used, for example, where the results of scientific experiments need to be multiplied by a constant value. It could also be used in a spreadsheet with payroll information where multiplication operations are used to find the amounts of various deductions.

To find out more about this function, read the article on the Excel 2007 PRODUCT Function.
