§ Remarks
- The arguments should be either > numbers or > names, arrays, or references that contain numbers
- If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored. However, cells with the value zero are included.
- If array_x and array_y do not have the same number of values, SUMXMY2 returns the #N/A error value.
- The equation for the sum of squared differences is:
