SUMX2PY2

Returns the sum of the sum of squares of corresponding values in two arrays. The sum of the sum of squares is a common term in many statistical calculations.

Syntax

SUMX2PY2(array_x,array_y)

Array_x   is the first array or range of values.

Array_y   is the second array or range of values.

Remarks

• The arguments should be either numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
• If an array or 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, SUMX2PY2 returns the #N/A error value.
• The equation for the sum of the sum of squares is:

  

Example

SUMX2PY2({2, 3, 9, 1, 8, 7, 5}, {6, 5, 11, 7, 5, 4, 4}) equals 521
