Hi Rachel
If you want to add the total of, for instance, cells A1, B1 & C1
in a different cell, type =SUM(A1:C1)
Hope this helps
Paul
Alternatively, you can use the + operator.
eg. =A1+B1
will give you the sum of A1 and B1.
Regards, Rich

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.
Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.
2. Select the General tab.
3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).
4. Click OK.
You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
