Multiple operations across rows and columns
You can carry out multiple operations simultaneously for both columns and rows in
so-called cross-tables. The formula must use at least two variables, the alternative
values for which should be arranged so that one set is along a single row and the
other set appears in a single column. These two sets of alternative values will form
column and row headings for the results table produced by the Multiple Operations
procedure.
Select the range defined by both data ranges (thus including all of the blank cells
that are to contain the results) and choose Data > Multiple operations. Enter the
cell reference to the formula in the Formulas field. The Row input cell and the
Column input cell fields are used to enter the reference to the corresponding cells of
the formula.
Caution
Beware of entering the cell reference of a variable into the wrong field.
The Row input cell field should contain not the cell reference of the
variable which changes down the rows of your results table, but that of
the variable whose alternative values have been entered along a single
row.
Calculating with two variables
You now want to vary not just the quantity produced annually, but also the selling
price, and you are interested in the profit in each case.
Expand the table shown in Figure 247. D2 thru D11 already contain the numbers
500, 1000 and so on, up to 5000. In E1 through H1 enter the numbers 8, 10, 15 and
20.
1) Select the range D1:H11.
2) Choose Data > Multiple Operations.
