SUMXMY2

The SUMXMY2 function in Google Sheets is used to calculate the sum of the squares of differences of values in two arrays. This function is helpful in various scenarios such as statistical analysis, data comparison, and error calculation.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: SUMXMY2(array_x, array_y)

Parameters:

  • array_x: The first array of values.
  • array_y: The second array of values.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using SUMXMY2 with two arrays:
    • Example: If A1:A5 has the values 5, 10, 3, 8, 7 and B1:B5 has the values 2, 6, 9, 4, 12, then =SUMXMY2(A1:A5, B1:B5) will return 183.

Use Cases and Scenarios
