Sue, If you want to add up from cells A1 to A10 do the following: 1. Place your cursor where you want the calculation to appear. 2. Type in =SUM(A1:A10) and press Enter. 3. If you have other columns you want to total up (E.G cols B to D) with the cursor in the cell where you have your first total, hold down the shift key and cursor across to col F. 4. Press Ctrl+R and you will have your other totals. This copies the first formula across. If you want to copy a formula down a column instead of across then use Ctrl+D.

Hi. I'm a bit rusty on the old spreadsheets. I did E C D L last year and I can't remember how to calculate from say A 1 to A 10. I remember using shift down arrow to highlight the row numbers I wanted to use in the calculation, but I've forgotten how to work out the total in those rows. Please could someone jog my memory. I now wish I used spreadsheets more often because when you do something all the time, you don't forget. Never mind, I'm sure someone on this list can help me. I think there's a quick way of doing this calculation without typing open bracket then equals and all of that. Thanks.
