On a spreadsheet what do you need to write to calculate things.?

Answer 1

IN EXCEL IT IS:


=SUM()

with your sum in the brackets; * is to multiply and / is to divide as well as + and -.

Is that what you meant? Hope that helps

Answer 2

=sum(calculation)

For exampe if you want to add two numbers =sum(cell#+cell #)
i.e. =sum(b2+c4) Will add the contents of the cell in the b column in the 2nd row down and the contents of the cell in the c column 4th row down.
+ is addition
- is subtraction
/ is division
* multiplication

You can also do independent calculations the same way. For example, =sum(56*23-7+5) and the answer would be 1286 (the computer will do the math in order you put it in the parenthesis, so it doesn't calculate in mathmatical order, which would be 7+5, 23-12, and 56*11 where the answer would be 616). Anyway, it just the math problem in a linear manner. If you wanted to break up the problem you would do this =sum(23-(7+5))*(56) Anyway, I hope this helps!

Answer 3

well you need to write what you want to calculate. for example, if you want to add 5 and 4, then you just don't put 5+4 in the box, you have to ad the = before.

This is what it will look like when you type: =5+4 (no spaces)
and when you press enter, it will automatically calculate 5 and 4, so in the box you will see: 9

Answer 4

If u wanted to say for example add two cells then in the box u want the answer to go into u would insert the = sign, this would let it know your doing a sum, then click the first cell u want to add, insert the + sign then click on the other cell u wanted to be added and press enter, its generaly the same with all calculations.

Answer 5

If you are using Excell go to the help index and type in multiply (or whatever you are trying to do.
It should give you the formulas which are something like:
sum=(b6*b5)

Below is a website that will give you more information.
Good luck!

Answer 6

in EXCEL you must format the cells with a formula

Answer 7

in excel the formula is =sum(what ever cell you want +or-or/or* then the other cell) . i think this is what you are talking about e.g. =sum(C2+C3)
