Thank you Rick for being so patient with me :0)
Lets see if I can get it right this time.....
I am picturing a spread sheet and right now I have along the left column the
list of different astrological aspects under Column A lets say "Mars square
the Sun" is the first one.
Then starting with Column B all the way through to EG I have beneath each of
these letters the numbers 1 thru 156 respectively
How I am doing it now is the old fashioned way, if I have 10 students in one
of the classrooms on the day "Mars is square the Sun" then I tab over to the
Column K which is the column that has the "10" beneath it and add another
"one" to whatever number is there from before. If also there are 35
students in another classroom I would tab over to Column AJ where the 35 is
located and I go through this routine 10 times for each of the aspects, even
to the point when someone gets up to leave I note the time and the aspect and
then add that number under the column that corresponds to the number in the
class at that time.
I want to be able to somehow make it that I don't need to tab through
sometimes all of the numbers to get to the column that I want. I want to be
able to have 10 cells that I can just tab through and when I enter the
number, then the program will realize that I am wanting to "add one more " to
the previous total. So when I have ten students and I type in the number 10
in whatever cell, it will "add one more" to the total that is existing in the
column that houses the number "10" which is in this instance Column "K".
I truly appreciate your slugging through this with me....and I am sorry that
I am being so dense.....I hope this helps you help me :0)

I think you are still missing the point of my question. When you say "I need
ten columns"... my question is not that there are 10 of them, but which 10
are they. In your first post, you said "I simply type in the numbers I need
in each column and then the numbers are "magically" added to the correct
number columns". My question is... what are the number of these 10 "correct
columns"? And, once you tell me the column numbers where you want your
numbers to finally be placed at, I also want to know if these 10 "correct
column" numbers are **always** going to be the same 10 column numbers. I'm
not asking for a the one or two columns you might fill in the first day, and
the one or two the next day... what I want to know is **all** the "correct
column" numbers that will ever be filled in by you as explained in your
first message.
I don't think this will be hard to do; but first we must understand your
setup and how you want/need to interact with it. When answering our
questions, keep in mind we know absolutely nothing about your worksheet...
specifically, we don't know how it is laid out... so you have to tell us...
don't make us guess (because we will probably guess wrong<g).

Hi Rick,
I guess I am being really dense, and I apologize. I need ten columns and
each of those ten columns should be able to accept upto the numbers 156 so
that lets say I needed to put a 16 in the first column on one day but then
on
the next day I need to put a 95 and perhaps the third day I need to put a
1
in that same column. I will need 10 colums that will allow me to enter
varying numbers in each of the columns and there might be instances when
in
the first column I will have the same number as perhaps the fourth column
and
also the tenth column.
I am beginning to believe that this is not as simple as I thought it might
be. Thanks for all of your help!

But are the column numbers your 10 pieces of data going in always the
same
10 columns (specifically, the 10 you mentioned in your first post)?

Hi Rick
The number of cells will most probably stay at 10, but there is a
possibility that it will increase.
The column numbers will be chronological starting with 1 and running
through
156. I want to have to only be concerned with filling in 10 cells with
numbers that will "magically" find their ways to their respectively
numbered
column and add themselves to any other number that is there so that I
will
have a running total in each cell in this "magic" land that I can then
look
at and analyze. Thank you so much for your help!

Are there always only 10 cells to fill in, or could this number change
with
each set of cells to be filled in?
Are the column numbers to be filled in always 1, 45,67,99,345,678,and
987,
or can the column numbers vary with each set of cells to be filled in?

I am doing research on numbers. I have been entering the numbers in
a
very
time consuming and potentially error ridden manner....the old
fashioned
way
by scrolling through the colums and then when I come to the column I
want
to
add a number to stopping at that column changing the number that was
there
to
indicate another addition of that number then pressing enter and
then
on
to
the next number. THERE HAS TO BE A SIMPLER WAY, BUT I DON'T KNOW
ENOUGH
TO
KNOW HOW TO DO IT!
Column A B C D E F............xx
December 1 2 3 4 5............22259
I am only entering in 10 numbers into each row under each number
column,
but I have to scroll all the way accross until i get to each number
column's
column . i.e. I could have to add #'s 1, 45,67,99,345,678,and 987
but I
need
to scroll from 1 to 45 then onto all the others. I want to be able
to
have
my row look like this
Column A B C D E F G H I J K
December __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
and then I simply type in the numbers I need in each column and
then
the
numbers are "magically" added to the correct number columns. I
hope
this
makes sense to someone and can help me.
