Hi, A sample formula would be: =sum(c2:c50) Written out: equals sign sum left parentheses c2 colon c50 right parentheses In this example, you are summing column C, rows 2 through 50. To read (and edit) a formula that is in a cell, press F2. When you are done reading or editing the formula, press enter. Hope this helps.
