Hi Ntashie,

Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum;

In answer to your question:

Always consider BODMAS when you enter formulas, this is the sequence that Excel follows when it calculates a formula

BODMAS stands for:

B=() Brackets - Anything in Brackets will be calculated from the innermost set first
O=^ Ordinals - To specify the exponent =2^3, which means 2 raised to the third power.
D=/ Division - To divide numbers =A1/A2
M=* Multiplication - To multiply numbers =A1*A2
A=+ Addition - To add numbers =A1+A2
S=- Subtraction - To subtract numbers =A1-A2

I hope that has helped. Regards Pete

Excel tip:

Repeating headings on spreadsheets that print on more than one page

By default when you print a spreadsheet out and it prints on more than one page, the headings at the top and the side of the spreadsheet don't appear on all the pages following page 1.

To get Excel to repeat headings on all pages when printing, go to File - Page Setup - Sheet, then select the rows to repeat at the top of pages, and the columns to repeat at the side of pages by clicking on the red arrows at the right side of the two boxes under the 'Print titles' area. Then click OK.

If you view your spreadsheet in Print Preview, you should see the headings being repeated on each page.
