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.
