SUMXMY2()

Syntax. SUMXMY2(array_x,array_y)

Definition. This function returns the sum of squares of differences of corresponding values in two arrays (see Figure 16-37).

Arguments

  • array_x (required) The first array or range of values

  • array_y (required) The second array or range of values

Background. The arguments should be numbers, names, arrays, or references containing numbers.

If an array or a reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored. However, cells with the value zero are included.

If array_x and array_y have a different number of values, the SUMXMY2() function returns the #N/A error. The equation for the sum of the squared differences is:

Σ(xy)2

The solution of this equation is built for the example ...
