All (mathematical) calculations IN CELLS of Excel begin with the "="
character (without the Quote marks).

So with cell A1 the current cell enter: =2+3 (and press the enter
key)

A1 should now display the results, which is 5.

In cell B1 enter =A1 (and press enter) B1 Should now display 5
since
A1 = 5.

Does this help?

Hi
I am newbie with Excel, and can not find how to calculate this:

A B
2+3 5

ie. I will enter 2+3 (into A) , and B need to display 5.
If I write =SUM(A1) into B cell, I become 0.

Thank you
