Thank you FSt1... found the icon, highlighted the numbers in the column...
down to the total line and hit the total icon/sum icon. All I got was
=sum/B4/B23, the columns rows and not the total. Can you help? Thanks again
!

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.
