It depends how you need to display the result. For example - say you have a list of five prices in column 1 starting at cell A10 - you want to show the amount of VAT charged (at 20%) in column 2 and the total price in column 3...
In cell B10 type the formula =sum(A10*0.20)
In cell C10 type the formula =sum(A10*1.20)
Then - copy both B10 & C10 together and paste them into cells B11 to B14 (inclusive) - if you've copied the conents of B10 & C10 - the folmula from C10 should copy down to C14.
As a test... type the following data into A10 to A14 respectively...
...A.........B.........C
27.10 - 5.42 - 32.52
12.51 - 2.50 - 15.01
11.81 - 2.36 - 14.17
36.42 - 7.28 - 43.70
19.87 - 3.97 - 23.84
Column A is your test data. Column B is the amount of VAT (at 20%) and Column C is the total including VAT. NOTE - the hyphens and dots in the table above are JUST for clarity !
You can change the figures in the formulae to any you want to.
You can have a maximum of 2292 columns in an OpenOffice spreadsheet.
No - OpenOffice does not require registration of any kind.
A "cell" is a single field in the spreadsheet application 'Calc'
False ! Open Office Calc is quite happy to save files in .xls format !
The maximum number of collums available is 2292.
Absolutely - I use them regularly. The spreadsheet part of OpenOffice is 'Calc'
You would use a formula such as ... =sum(a3/10) or =sum(b12*a3)
The maximum number of rows is 1048576 and the maximum columns is 2292. Therefore the total number of cells available is 2,403,315,564 !
You could use the Calc program. I did one for a friend last using Open Office Calc. I designed the background etc, and used fomule in the spreadsheet to change the date by one day to the required number each month.
It includes :- Base - Database Calc - Spreadsheet Draw - Design Impress - Presentation Math - Formula editor Writer - Word-processor
Impossible to calc any melting or boiling points.
Please check out openoffice at http://www.openoffice.org/. Open Office Calc is a spreadsheet program very similar to Excel.
