What does a , mean in a formula? What does " mean in a formula? What do
parethesis mean and brackets mean? I have never learned how to write a
formula, other than a basic ones, because I cannot understand how to enter
the commas, periods, parethesis, etc. where they belong so as to arrive at
correct result. I have never understood this and all the Excel for Dummie do
not address such basic stuff I guess. Can some one please explain? Thanks

Is there a better way to write this formula?

=SUM(G6:H6:I6:J6:L6)*17.5%

I noticed writing it this way, F6 is automatically added to the sum.

Thank you
