Since things like formulas are confusing, perhaps a basic tutorial in
Excel would assist.

Here are a few basic tutorials for Excel to get a beginner going.

There probably was more. It showed a range and said enter formula that will
show total profit. The formulas are driving me crazy. I am new to Excel and

Was there no specific scenario assumed?

Price minus cost yields profit.
Price in A1
Cost in B1
Profit in C1 by using a formula of:

=A1-B1

There has to be more to it then what you're stating!
