I know there's an easy way to do this, but I can't figure it out. I need sumproduct to work on two different data sets vertically. I usually do them where the criteria and data are in separate columns.
I've put a simplified example below. I'm getting tired of doing the formula I've been using because I'm always adding rows to it and i have to manually add them each time.


Column A Column B
1 Product A
2 Price $5.00
3 Mix 50.0%
4
5 Product B
6 Price $3.99
7 Mix 20.0%
8
9 Product C
10 Price $2.99
11 Mix 30.0%

$4.20

formula =(B2*B3)+(B6*B7)+(B10*B11)+ (blah * blah) + (yuck * yuck)+(this s*cks * this s*cks)

If you considered restricting your data, this wuld be much easier...

Yes, but it's an existing file that would be too much work to restructure. I would have to rework the entire model if I did that. I know there's a way to do it, I just can't find it.

Maybe in the short term.

Anyway, try this...
[Table="width:, class:grid"][tr][td] [/td][td]
I​
[/td][td]
J​
[/td][td]
K​
[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]
1​
[/td][td]Product A[/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]

[tr][td]
2​
[/td][td]Price[/td][td]
$5.00​
[/td][td]
4.195​
[/td][/tr]

[tr][td]
3​
[/td][td]Mix[/td][td]
50.00%​
[/td][td][/td][/tr]

[tr][td]
4​
[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]

K2=SUMPRODUCT(J2:J10*J3:J11)
Note the range offsets

Thanks FDibbins. What you have would work perfect. However, I should have specified there is more data on rows under each product than just price and mix. There's costs, costs %, etc., I guess I simplified my example too much.
Need something that would specify to look at Price and Mix. Sorry, that's my bad. I wasn't thinking it would be as simple as what you said so I didn't specify much more than that.
