Or, you could use something as simple as this...

If you want the sum of selected cells without having to write a formula or
using a separate calculator...

Right click the Status bar and you'll see a menu of functions to select
from. Select SUM. Now, if select a range of cells look down at the right
side of the Status bar and you'll see the SUM of those selected cells.

How do I add a simple calculator ( Like the one found in accessories) to
my
excel spreadsheet. I am doing my personal budgets and often would like
to
check how much several items will cost me but without have to go through
accessories to the calculator which disappears when I switch screens.

Is there a way to embedd one in a spread sheet?
