You've got it just how I know it.
I was trying to mimick what Voicover was saying with the whole imbeded thing.
Here's what I've found playing around. It looks like I'm fine doing a sum for a
column, but it's not letting me use a range in a row. sosum(B7:B9) worked, but
sum(C7:I7) didn't. Is this normal that you can only use a column to get a range
sum? Maybe there's a different way of entering it when it's a row?
