This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the SUMX2PY2 function in Microsoft Excel.
Description
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)
The SUMX2PY2 function syntax has the following arguments:
-
Array_x Required. The first array or range of values.
-
Array_y Required. The second array or range of values.
Remarks
-
The arguments should be either numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
