trying to multiply values based on criteria, not sure sumproduct will work or not

I have a long list I'm trying to apply this formula too but cannot figure it out. I need to multiply the records in the Return column based on the Acct. I was able to use {=PRODUCT((E952:E963/100)+1)} on just the Return column to get the number I want. How can I take that formula, or similar formula, and apply the criteria of the account number? My data contains ~1000 rows and each client has 12 months so I need a formula I can drag down that will multiply the cells but only for a specific account #.

This is sort of what you want:

D2	{=PRODUCT(IF($A$2:$A$24=A2,1+$C$2:$C$24))}
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.

Not sure why you're dividing by 100 when the .25 is already a decimal (basis pts perhaps ???) but that's easily adjusted in the formula.

Another way is to add 1 to each cell with copy/paste special and create a pivot table with product as the value field setting.

Outstanding. This is perfect!
