Glad to be of assistance.

There are a lot of shortcuts with Excel but I must admit I don't know
anything about MAC.

As example, if you double click the dot (or where the dot should be) it will
autonmatically fire the contents of the cell (Formulae or contents) down the
column where the column has data in the left adjacent cell.

Example, if A1 to A100 Contain a number
B1 to B100 Contains a second number.
In Cell C1 =A1*B1 will multiply A1 with B1. Click in Cell B1 and double
click where the dot should be will send the formulae all the way down to C100
without having to drag. (Note it will stop at any cell which does not have a
value to the left of it.)

Try searching for Keyboard Shortcuts in the help section.

kindest Regards

By the way, is a Mulligan not a golf shot?

Hi, First let me say I made a typing mistake. I meant the total to go in L5.
I am using Office 2004 for a Mac so I couldn't find a black dot. But, I put
my mouse in the lower right corner, held down the left button and dragged
down and it worked. Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it.
I think I need a better book :))

I agree with Pete on the circular ref to K5

However, when you sort out the equation, If you type a formulae into a cell.
Then click on that cell which is shown by a dark boarder appearing around the
cell. you will notice a little dot in the bottom right hand corner of the
cell you have clicked in which contains the equation.

If you carefully click and hold on that dot, drag the dot down 100 rows will
result in the formulae being copied down 100 rows.

I hope this helps a little??????

You say that you want to subtract some values (including K5) and for the
total to also be in K5. Any formula in K5 which refers to itself will create
an error message, so could you re-phrase your question?

I am new to Excel and am trying to make a formula for items I am selling.
After 2 hours of trying I am asking for help. I need starting entries in
E5
which has a price to then subtract G5,H5,I5,J5,K5 and have total in K5. I
would like this formula to work for 100 rows. I would also like to have
the
dollar sign show and two decimals show. Column B5,C5,D5 have text. If
someone would email me the correct formula and tell me where to paste it I
would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
