In previous versions and Excel 2003 you could highlight a row or column of
numbers and the total of that group of cells would appear in the lower right
of the Excel screen. I've noticed recently that this no longer happens which
suggest that I've inadvertently turned something off. How do I get the total
of a selected row or column to be automatically caluclated and shown. I know
how to do the @sum thing but this is different. What I'm looking for is an
Excel feature that I've seemingly managed to turn off.
