# xarray.core.groupby.DataArrayGroupBy.cumprod

#### DataArrayGroupBy.cumprod(dim=None, , skipna=None, keep_attrs=None, \*\*kwargs)[[source]](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/main/xarray/core/_aggregations.py#L8177-L8276)

Reduce this DataArray’s data by applying `cumprod` (i.e., cumulative product) along some dimension(s).

* **Parameters:**
  * **dim** ([`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#str), `Iterable` of `Hashable`, `"..."` or [`None`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None), *default*: [`None`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None)) – Name of dimension[s] along which to apply `cumprod`. For e.g. `dim="x"`
    or `dim=["x", "y"]`. If None, will reduce over the GroupBy dimensions.
    If “…”, will reduce over all dimensions.
  * **skipna** ([`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool) or [`None`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None), *optional*) – If True, skip missing values (as marked by NaN). By default, only
    skips missing values for float dtypes; other dtypes either do not
    have a sentinel missing value (int) or `skipna=True` has not been
    implemented (object, datetime64 or timedelta64).
  * **keep_attrs** ([`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool) or [`None`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#None), *optional*) – If True, `attrs` will be copied from the original
    object to the new one.  If False, the new object will be
    returned without attributes.
  * **\*\*kwargs** (`Any`) – Additional keyword arguments passed on to the appropriate array
    function for calculating `cumprod` on this object’s data.
    These could include dask-specific kwargs like `split_every`.
* **Returns:**
  **reduced** ([`DataArray`](xarray.DataArray.html.md#xarray.DataArray)) – New DataArray with `cumprod` applied to its data and the
  indicated dimension(s) removed

### Notes

Use the `flox` package to significantly speed up groupby computations,
especially with dask arrays. Xarray will use flox by default if installed.
Pass flox-specific keyword arguments in `**kwargs`.
See the [flox documentation](https://flox.readthedocs.io) for more.

Non-numeric variables will be removed prior to reducing. datetime64 and timedelta64 dtypes are treated as numeric for aggregation operations.

Note that the methods on the `cumulative` method are more performant (with numbagg installed)
and better supported. `cumsum` and `cumprod` may be deprecated
in the future.

```pycon

```

Use `skipna` to control whether NaNs are ignored.

```pycon
>>> da.groupby("labels").cumprod(skipna=False)
<xarray.DataArray (time: 6)> Size: 48B
array([ 1.,  2.,  3.,  0.,  4., nan])
