RE: protection

Hi Jane

Thanks for your question - sorry for not getting back sooner

When you have setup the worksheet protection on the file making sure you password protect it and prior to protection you unlock the cells as we did before in class from format cells only the cells you want someone to work on if you dont do this the sheet will be read only

If that stuff is all done then the file should work as you set it up if asure send the file to a work mate and see what happens

Let me know how you get on

Excel tip:

Sum Up All the Values in A Column

If you want to quickly calculate the Summed values of all cells in a column in Excel 2003 normally you would use the SUM formula. (eg if you wanted to calculate the values in Column C rows 10 to 25) the formula would be:

=SUM(C10:C25)

However, if you keep adding values to column C you would keep having to modify the above SUM formula which can get quite annoying.

To get around this you can sum all the values in a column using the following formula:

=SUM(COLUMN:COLUMN)

Which, in our example, would be:

=SUM(C:C)

NOTE You cannot place this formula in column C, or else Excel 2003 will show a circular reference error.

The formula must be placed in any other column, EXCEPT the one being calculated.
