Basic Formula rules
 

How does a complete beginner go about creating a formula?

Is there a list of what each letter & symbol represents and how & where to
use them?

So far I have only worked out what =, sum and * does.
Surely there must be a list for a complete novice to learn from.

To get started, in Excel's Help, look for information on "calculation
operators", "create a formula" and "Examples of commonly used formulas"

Yeh, I think I realised that. An explanation for a child was not needed,
but
thanks anyway.

Sorry for trying to help, I certainly won't bother again.
