In summary, to do a finite series in Excel in one row, you can use the SUM function with a range of cells as the argument. This will add up all the values within the specified range and give you the total sum in one cell. You can also use the fill handle to quickly copy and paste the formula across multiple rows. Additionally, you can use the CONCATENATE function to combine multiple cells into one string and perform calculations on that string. With these techniques, you can effectively create a finite series in Excel in one row.

I totally forgot how to do this (it's been a long while). I'm thinking it was "=sumproduct" feature? Anyway I'm trying to find the sum of cuberoot(exp(sin(arctan(3x^2+2x-3))))) from x=1 to x=1,000,000 in excel. I believe you input ranges for the variable x. I'm not sure. I accidentally deleted my work.

nvm, i figured it out.
I use "=SUMPRODUCT". In the place of "x" just put "ROW(1:1,000,000)"
So for Sum([e^sin(atan(ln(3x^2+2x-3)))]^(1/3),x,1,1,000,000) just do:

=SUMPRODUCT(POWER(EXP(SIN(ATAN(LN(3*POWER(ROW(1:1000000),2)+2*ROW(1:1000000)-3)))),1/3))

FAQ: How to do a finite series in Excel in one row?

How do I create a finite series of numbers in one row in Excel?

You can create a finite series of numbers in one row by using the "Fill" feature. Start by entering the first number of your series in a cell. Then, click and drag the fill handle (a small square at the bottom-right corner of the cell) horizontally across the row to extend the series. Excel will automatically populate the cells with the series based on the pattern of the initial numbers you entered.

Can I use a formula to generate a finite series in one row in Excel?

Yes, you can use a formula to generate a finite series in one row. For example, if you want to create a series of numbers starting from 1 and increasing by 1, you can use the formula =COLUMN(A1) in the first cell of the row. Drag this formula across the row to generate the series. Adjust the starting point and increment as needed.

How do I create a finite arithmetic series in one row in Excel?

To create a finite arithmetic series in one row, start by entering the first term of the series in the initial cell. In the next cell, enter a formula that adds the common difference to the previous term. For example, if your first term is in cell A1 and the common difference is 2, enter =A1+2 in cell B1. Drag this formula across the row to generate the series.

How can I create a finite geometric series in one row in Excel?

To create a finite geometric series in one row, start by entering the first term of the series in the initial cell. In the next cell, enter a formula that multiplies the previous term by the common ratio. For example, if your first term is in cell A1 and the common ratio is 3, enter =A1*3 in cell B1. Drag this formula across the row to generate the series.

Is it possible to generate a finite series of dates in one row in Excel?

Yes, you can generate a finite series of dates in one row. Start by entering the initial date in the first cell. In the next cell, enter a formula that adds the desired number of days to the previous date. For example, if your first date is in cell A1 and you want to create a series of dates with a one-day increment, enter =A1+1 in cell B1. Drag this formula across the row to generate the series of dates.
