No you shouldn't. If you look up the SUM function in Excel help you will
see that it is a function for giving you the SUM of a group of numbers, in
other words adding them together.

You haven't asked the function to add anything to A1*12, so you don't need
the SUM function. If you want A1*12, thye formula is =A1*12

Thank you so much for your assistance, but should I also use
something like this
=SUM(A1*12)?

Hi,

=12*Monthly

or

=12*1200

or if 1500 is in A1 then in a blank cell

=A1*12
