Hi ?B?Q2hlcmk=?=,
I have an invoice and would like to add the column of charges and subtract the column of credits and have just that total in one particular cell. This is in Word? Have you looked at the Table/Formula command? Starting with Sum(Above) and working from there...

To do calculations which do not just use the cells above you need to imagine
your table cells labelled as they would be in Excel i.e. Columns A, B, C, etc rows 1, 2, 3. You can then do things like =(C2+C3)*C4 in the Tables - Formula window to get the answer you require. -- Andrea Jones www.allaboutoffice.co.uk www.allaboutclait.com www.stratatraining.co.uk "Cheri" wrote: I have an invoice and would like to add the column of charges and subtract the column of credits and have just that total in one particular cell.

I've tried that but I get a syntax error. I want to add the charges in
Column C(which has lines 1-7) and subtract any credits that appear in Column D - lines 1-7) all into a cell at the bottom of Column D - i.e. D10 "Andrea Jones" wrote: To do calculations which do not just use the cells above you need to imagine your table cells labelled as they would be in Excel i.e. Columns A, B, C, etc rows 1, 2, 3.

You should be able to click in D10, click on Tables -Formulas and then type
=SUM(C1:C7)-SUM(D17) Make sure you start the calculation with = or it won't work. -- Andrea Jones www.allaboutoffice.co.uk www.stratatraining.co.uk www.allaboutclait.com "Cheri" wrote: I've tried that but I get a syntax error.

Tried that and it puts in a number but it's not the right number. More
suggestions?

What are the numbers in Cells C1-C7 and D1-D7 and what is the result
showing? Are the numbers in D1-D7 the result of a formula? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Cheri
Place cursor in a cell where you want the result displayed. Press [Alt+F9]. This will insert a set of curly brackets. In between the curly brackets type your formula. ie. "=(a1:e1)" or "=sum(a1:e1)-sum(a2:e2)". When done right click field and click on 'Update Field'. Regards Mike PS. Inverted commas are used for indicating formulae etc. Don't use in formula.
