[mso] Re: Excel for dummies Q

Im a newbie myself, but you might try putting the sum(c2:c8) in
paranthesis so it can do that first

=3D(SUM(C2:C8))-F9

Try that :)

Okay, I'm lousy with Excel functions. HOW do I format this...

=3DSum(c2:c8) [that part I know]

...but then I want that number...say it turns out to be 2500...I want to
subtract another number in order to get the final total. So it would be
something like this...but I get errors so I'm messing it up.

=3DSUM(C2:C8) - F9

Tia...
