MULTIPLY function

PRO

The MULTIPLY function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a simple tool that calculates the product of exactly two numbers. It's like doing a multiplication operation. You simply input the two numbers you wish to multiply as arguments into the function, and it will provide you with the result. This function is a great tool for performing calculations quickly and accurately in your spreadsheet.

Documentation

Returns the product of two numbers.

Syntax

MULTIPLY(factor1, factor2)

Parameter	Description
`factor1`	First number to multiply.
`factor2`	Second number to multiply.

Behavior

The MULTIPLY function is used to multiply two or more numbers. Here's how it behaves in different scenarios:

Empty cells: If one of the cells referenced in the function is empty, the MULTIPLY function treats it as zero.
Text: If the function is used on cells that contain text, it will return an error, since multiplication is not applicable to text.
Booleans: Boolean values are treated as numbers. Therefore, TRUE is regarded as 1 and FALSE as 0 when used in the MULTIPLY function.
Errors: If one of the cells referenced in the function contains an error, the MULTIPLY function will also return that error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs if one or more of the arguments are text that cannot be converted into numbers.
#REF!	This error is displayed when a cell reference is not valid. This can occur if a cell that is being referenced has been deleted.

Best practices

Always ensure that the cells you're referencing in your MULTIPLY function contain numbers. If there's a chance they might contain text, use error checking functions to handle these cases.

Be aware that empty cells will be treated as zero. If you don't want this behavior, you should add checks to exclude empty cells from the multiplication.

If you're working with boolean values, remember that they will be treated as 1 (for TRUE) and 0 (for FALSE).

Check your function for correct spelling and syntax to avoid #NAME? errors.

Usage

A few examples using the MULTIPLY function.

MULTIPLY(5, 10) returns 50  
MULTIPLY(10, -1) returns -10
