Hi Rob,
Thank you for your post.
To answer your question: Without a doubt the most commonly used formula is the =SUM formula, this allows you to total two or more named cells in column or row alignment, known as a range of cells ie =SUM(A1:C25) this would add up (Sum) all the cells in the range A1 through to C25 and give the answer in the selected cell. I hope that has helped... Pete

Want to circulate an Excel workbook file but keep certain worksheets hidden from your colleagues' view?
You can do so by bringing up the sheet you wish to hide on your screen; then going to Format - Sheet - Hide.
It will not be immediately obvious that a sheet is hidden from view unless perhaps the sheet are still labelled Sheet 1, Sheet 2 etc.
To display the sheet again, you can go to Format - Sheet - Unhide on any of the other sheets in the workbook. A dialogue box will appear, allowing you to select the hidden sheet/s. Click OK to make the sheet/s reappear again.
