I am having problems using Numbers package, unable to add specific cells in a column, when I tap "sum" it totals the whole column, rather than the specific cells I want. Would appreciate any help. Thank You Francis

I am having a problem with adding selected numbers in a column. When I select "sum" the whole column is added, not just the selected cells. I would appreciate any help how to rectify? Many thanks. Francis Anthony

I don't know if this is the best way but it's pretty easy.


1.) Select the cell you want the sum in.

2.) Select the sum function

3.) In the line where you see =sum(B2:B8) using your finger tap the B2:B8

4.) Use the backspace key to delete the B2:B8 and it will then show "value"

5.) You can now tap any cell you want in the sum

6.) When finished tap the green check mark button at the end of the sum line.


That pretty much sums it up.


Good luck.

Steve
