This post will guide you how to use Excel MMULT function with syntax and examples in Microsoft excel.

Description

The Excel MMULT function returns the matrix product of two arrays.

If you want to return multiple result in an array on the worksheet, then you need to input an array formula in the MMULT function.

To input array formulas, you need to highlight the range of cells that this function is to be entered into, and then type the function into the first cell of the range, and press shortcuts Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

And the returned array result will contain the same number of rows as array1 and the same number of columns as array2.

The MMULT function is a build-in function in Microsoft Excel and it is categorized as a Math and Trigonometry Function.
