There are two reaon for the ICON not being there.

1) You don't have the Standard Toolbar enabled
from menu View - toolbars - standard

2) ICONs that are not used often excel hides. On the right side of the tool
bar is a grayed area with two arrows. You need to click the arrow and look
in the view to find the ICONs that are missing.

This is so basic it's embarrassing. I have not used Excel in several years.
I opened the program, typed in my numbers/amounts in a column, choose and
dragged down column for a total - AND, when I looked for the Total Icon, it
wasn't there. I have looked under every topic in tool bar area and cannot
find it. Somepone please assist. THANKS.
