If you press = in a cell it shows the computer you are ready to enter a formula, from then you can enter a cell reference for example A1 and then an operator, like + (options you have are + - / * ) then another cell reference.
So you could type = A1+B1 which would add up the number in A1 to the number in B1.
Hope this helps

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.
For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.
Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
