click on the cell | you will see the formula in the cell , now hit
ctrl + shift + enter

formula.

Thanks for your answer. Please tell me when do I hit CRTL + SHIF + ENTER. I
typed the formula but I get "#Value" error. Do you have any idea what I am
doing wrong?

Hi:


I have a calendar in a spreadsheet. I record by week the vacations days and
sick days. In cell A I would like to get the sum of all the cells that start
with "v". In the example the total is 4. How could I write a formula which
calculate this?
Could anyone help me please?
JANUARY
Cell A 1 - 7 8 - 14 15 - 21
Total V Cell C5 Cell D5 Cell E5
4 v3 s2 v1
Thanks,
