This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the SUMX2MY2 function in Microsoft Excel.
Description
This Excel function returns the sum of the difference of the squares of corresponding values in two arrays.
Syntax
SUMX2MY2(array_x, array_y)
The SUMX2MY2 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.
