Please can anyone help me answer any of these questions:

How would you add the contents of the cells from A1 to A10. Give 2 ways
to do this. (hint: Look up "Examples of common formulas" in Excel
help



How do you format a cell to have dollar signs next to the numbers?



How do you add the contents of cells A1 through A10 on sheet 1 and make
the answer show up on sheet 2?



How do you rename a sheet?



Can I delete the sheets that I don't need? If so how?



How do I freeze rows or columns of the sheet so that they don't'
move when you scroll up or down? Example: My name is in Column A, when
I scroll right my mane stays on the screen and column B moves behind A



How do you add up all the contents of column D and make the answer show
up in column C?


Thanks in advance!

rush myself.

How would you add the contents of the cells from A1 to A10.

=SUM(A1:A10)
or
=A1+A2+A3+A4+A5+A6+A7+A8+A9+A10

How do you format a cell to have dollar signs next to the
numbers?
Click to expand...

Click the currency button on the formatting tool bar or use a
custom number format of $#,##0.00
How do you add the contents of cells A1 through A10 on sheet 1
and make
the answer show up on sheet 2?
=SUM('Sheet1'!A1:A10)

How do you rename a sheet?
Click to expand...

Right click the sheet tab and choose Rename

How do I freeze rows or columns of the sheet so that they
don't'
move when you scroll up or down? Example: My name is in Column
A, when
I scroll right my mane stays on the screen and column B moves
behind A
Click to expand...

Select cell B1 and choose Freeze Panes from the Window menu.
How do you add up all the contents of column D and make the

Use the auto sum function in cell A11 and it will do the additons
Click to expand...
Also input the equals sign into cell a11 and thenuse your mose pointer to
drag over the contents of cells a10 through a1. Then press enter.
How do you format a cell to have dollar signs next to the numbers?

Righ click the cell you want formatting. A menu will appear and then click
on "format cells". Select currency and then select dollars. You can also
choose the number of decimal places you want to show. The default setting is
2.
