My qustion is more like this:
A 3 6 4
B 2.00 3.00 2.50 SUMtotal (B1*A1)+(B2*A2)+(B3*A3)
C 3.50 4.00 5.00 SUMtotal (C1*A1)+(C2*A2)+(C3*A3)
D 7.00 1.00 1.45 SUMtotal (D1*A1)+(D2*A2)+(D3*A3)
E 1.65 3.50 3.00 SUMtotal (E1*A1)+(E2*A2)+(E3*A3)
How do I do it shorter?

=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3,B1:B3)
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3,C1:C3)
and so on

You can use this formula to get the total of all these
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A3)*(B1:B3)+(A1:A3)*(C1:C3)+(A1:A3)*(D1:D3)+(A1:A3)*(E1:E3))

Or maybe:
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A3)*(B1:E3))

=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3,C1:C3)
etc.
or, to add them all up:
=SUM(SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3,B1:B3),SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3,C1:C3), ... )

I am reading this differently to other repliers
In the first formula =SUMPRODUCT($A$1:$A$3, B1:B3)
Now when you copy it dwn, the referecne to A stays the same

All I want to know is how did you get your columns down the left?
