From a vendor work with, I received an Excel file with formulas giving the product of two other cells - for example, cell C3 should be the product of cells A3 and B3. But instead of simply using the formula =A3*B3, the vendor used the following:
=SUM(A3*B3).
I don't think I've ever seen that before. Does the "SUM" formula have any meaning or function in this case? It gives the correct result, but it doesn't seem to do anything that =A3*B3 couldn't do. I can't decide if this is something so advanced that I've never seen it before, or if it just means that my vendor doesn't know much about Excel. My guess is the latter, but I'm not certain.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
