Hi,

Why is it if I use a defined range my sumproduct formula works, but when I use an entire column the sumproduct fails. Is there a workaround to this?

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Sumproduct won't work with entire columns, so the workaround is not to use entire columns (the max you can use is A2:A65536 for example).

Hi gaj104

You cannot use whole columns in any array formula. There is no workaround (that I know of).

You can, however, specify a big numbers of rows

A1:A20000

Hope this helps
