simple addition
I want to total columns on a sheet.
I have the following sheet: (a1,a2 etc line numbers, 2 columns A & B) __A__ __B____ a1 GASOLINE a2 gals cost a3 13.01 45.01 a4 ? 38.00 a5 20.00 75.00 etc,etc a106 25.00 85.00 I need to add total gals column (A) and then total cost column (B). I cannot figure out how to do that. I believe I read in a thread that I can't add more than 30 lines? I have Excel 2003. -- fool |

simple addition
hi
there is no row limit to a simple sum formla that i am aware of. use this formula =sum(A1:A1000) and =sum(B1:B1000) place the fomula any where you want. adjust the ranges to suit.

There's really no limit to the number of lines you can total. Just use the
SUM function. Type this formula into the cell where you want your total to appear: =SUM(A1:A106) Repeat for your next total: =SUM(B1:B106) The : indicates a range starting at the cell reference on the left and ending at the cell reference on the right. So everything from cell A1 through cell A106 will be added together. HTH Elkar "pitydafool" wrote: I want to total columns on a sheet.
