Function Syntax
MMULT(array1, array2)
array1
The first array or range to multiply
array2
The second array or range to multiply
Note
Ensure the number of columns in array1 equals the number of rows in array2 for MMULT to work correctly.
Error Handling
You may encounter a "#VALUE!" error if the arrays' dimensions do not match.
