Formulas

I don't understand how to total up figures using a formula and don't find the manual helpful. I can use autosum of course but need to learn how to use formulas properly please. My trainer tried hard with me but I am still confused. Thank you.

RE: Formulas

Hi Jeanne

Thank you for your message. We have some useful answers on the forum that might be helpful. Here's one on using the Sum function. It's the same function that autosum uses - only you type it into your sheet and manually select the cells to be totalled rather than have Excel paste it in for you and guess the range of cells to include.

Here is a slightly longer article on the subject of functions including Average that you might find interesting

I hope you find these helpful - let me know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
