    Sumproduct in VBA

    Hi there,

    Got two problems in one little segment of code!

    I want to enter the IF statement "If" output is "M1" or "M2" what syntax should I be using.

    Also I want to be able to use SUMPRODUCT in VBA but it does not seem to work the program just stops when I try to call it? Again what syntax should I use?

    If output = ("M1" Or "M") Then
    Dim Prob() As Double
    ReDim Prob(N)
    For i = 1 To N
        Prob(i) = Application.Max(p2 ^ i * (1 - p2) ^ (N - i))
    Next i
    M1 = Application.SumProduct(Prob, Val)
    M2 = Application.SumProduct(Prob, Val ^ 2)
    End If
    Thanks

    If output = "M1" Or output = "M" Then

    You cannot use SumProduct directly in VBA, you need to EVALUATE it.
    Have a look here for more info.

    With OR and AND functions, you need to test both indivifually like so

    If output = "M1" Or output = "M" Then
    SUMPRODUCT is an array formula, so you cannot use Applictaion, you have to evaluate it

    M1 = Application.Evaluate("SumProduct(" & Prob & "," &  Val & ")")
