DPRODUCT
Returns the product of cells in a column of a Calc 'database' table, in rows which meet specified criteria.
Syntax:
DPRODUCT(database_table; field; criteria_table)
where
- database_table is a range defining the data to be processed.
- field is the column to sum. It may be a column number (1 is the first column of the database table, 2 is the second ...) or a column header (enclosed in quotation marks ””) or a cell referring to a column header.
- criteria_table is a range containing criteria, which are used to select which rows of the database_table to sum.
- The Database functions overview describes the use of these parameters in detail.
DPRODUCT multiplies together the contents of all cells found in the field column.
Example:
In this spreadsheet:
A B C D E 1 Box size Dimension cm Box size 2 A width 23 C 3 A height 19 4 A depth 35 5 B width 35 6 B height 35 7 B depth 19 8 C width 23 9 C height 35 10 C depth 21 11 D width 19 12 D height 17 13 D depth 12
DPRODUCT(A1:C13; "cm"; E1:E2)- returns the volume of Box C - that is, the product of all cells in the "cm" column whose Box size is C (width * height * depth = 23 * 35 * 21 = 16905).
Issues:
The OOo2.3 Help implies that 0 as a field will include the entire database table. This seems to be wrong - only a single column can be processed.
