Let Excel be your calculator.
With a simple formula, Excel can perform calculations on numbers using operators, such as the + sign, and functions, such as SUM.
To add numbers, you use the + sign.
A formula always starts with an = sign.
If I, then, type a number, a + sign, another number, and then press Enter, the cell displays the results.
You can add many numbers this way, not just two.
Instead of typing numbers in a formula, you can reference cells that contain numbers to make adding a bit easier and more flexible.
A4 is equal to 6, A5 is equal to 3.
I'll create a formula that adds the cells.
As with all formulas, I start again with the = sign, click a cell, type a + sign, then another cell, and press Enter.
And if I change a number in a cell, the result of the formula automatically updates.
When you double-click a cell, you can see right in the cell if it is a formula, like A6, or a number, like A4, or you can click a cell and look up here in the Formula Bar.
Subtracting is similar to adding, except you use the - sign.
Click a cell, then a - sign, then another cell, and press Enter.
Multiplying is similar to adding or subtracting, except you use an *.
Don't use an X for multiplying; that won't work.
Click a cell, then an *, then another cell, and press Enter.
Dividing is similar to multiplying, except you use a /.
Click a cell, then a /, then another cell, and press Enter.
