SUMX2PY2 takes two arguments, array_x and array_y. Array_x is the first range or array or range of numbers, and array_y is the second range or array of numbers. Both arguments can be provided as an array constant or as a range.

Examples

In the example shown above, the formula in E5 is: which returns 600 as a result.

Equation

The equation used to calculate the sum of the sum of squares is:   This formula can be created manually in Excel with the exponentiation operator (^) like this: With the example as shown, the formula below will return the same result as SUMX2PY2:

Notes

Arguments can be a mix of constants, names, arrays, or references that contain numbers. Empty cells are ignored, but cells with zero values are included. SUMX2PY2 returns #N/A if the arrays contain different numbers of cells. If a cell in array_x or array_y is empty, or contains text, the pair of values are ignored.
