In B1 enter =SUM(A:A)

Assuming your dollar amouts are column A

For a range use =SUM(A1:A123)

OR.............select the range to sum then hit the AutoSum icon(looks like
a sideways M)

I'm very new with excel. Can someone tell me how to total a simple column of

Thank you so much if you can help.
