Sum and Average Functions

It is time to get the spread sheet program to show off its power. Up until now, we the users have done all the work! We are going to get the program to add a column of figures and also show you how to get the machine to painlessly calculate averages. Functions are ready made formulas that have a particular… function!

Click the’ Formula’ menu tab at the top of the screen and you will see the program has an AutoSum button. Click the V section of this button to reveal other functions that are regularly used. They include Sum, Average, Count Numbers, Max and Min.
