Way back when the earth was still green I used Lotus 123.... Now I need to create a spreadsheet in Excel 2003. Essentially I need to sum a group of numbers, e.g. a3 thru e3 and then in g3 the sum must be subtracted by a constant value.... On top of that as I add a new row the function in g3 must be applied to the new row in this case g4.... Like I said I've never had to use Excel so any pointers would be most appreciated. Jim James M.
