Default Adding + Multiplying 2 Colums' Rows

ruscak,

In cell C1, type in the formula

=A1*B1

Then pres enter. Reselect C1, then move your mouse to the fill handle (the laittle black square at
the lower right of the cell). When you cursor changes from a white cross to a black cross, double
click, and that will fill your formula down to match your data in column B.

HTH,

I've been having troubles with this a while. It's got me so annoyed that
I've searched the Internet for some macros or some postings to my
problem. I haven't found anything and just to get over this, I've
decided to post a message, maybe somebody can help me solve this....

I have 2 columns with f.e. 1000 rows of numbers - column A and Column
B
in column A there are numbers f.e. from 1 to 1000. In column B there
are numbers 0.5 0.7 4.5 6.7 12.4 2.8 4 5 etc....up
to 1000 different numbers. I would like to create column C, a third one
where there would be a result of these two rows in columns function f.e.
multiply. If I want to multiply column A and B in row 1, so their
product is in column C and repeat this process for all rows up to 1000,
what should I do if I don't want to input manually function into column
C =PRODUCT (A1,B1) , =PRODUCT (A2,B2), =PRODUCT (A3,B3) etc.... for
all 1000 rows?

is there any way to automate this? same thing for summing up. can
anybody help me please. thanks!!!
