Enter an equation in a cell and press enter. If auto-calculate is turned on, all calculations are automatic. If auto-calculate is turned off, calculate manually by clicking on the calculate button or pressing F9.
You use functions and operators built into the spreadsheet, or you access an additional add-on. You can highlight the numbers to be calculated and then choose an icon to add them up. Other times, you can use a formula to name the cells you want to do math with and the function symbol (like add, subtract, multiply or divide) and the program will do it for you. Click on help in the program to access directions to do this.
