How to Multiply figures in Excel


- This time, we need to multiply the cost of each bar by how many were eaten. So we want to multiply the Price by the Number. The Price is in the B column and the Number is in the C column.
We want the answer to appear in the Cost column. So click inside the cell D15. If you wanted to multiply two numbers together the standard mathematical notation is this:
35 x 17 = 595
However, Excel doesn't use the X symbol to multiply. Simply because it would be confused with the letter X. Instead the asterisk symbol is used. The asterisk symbol is the one above the number 8 on your (English) keyboard. So the sum above would be this in Excel:
35 * 17 = 595
It's very easy to multiply two numbers together using Excel. When we were adding up we used the =Sum( ) function. In between the brackets we told Excel which cells we wanted to add up. You don't need a function when you are multiplying; all you need to do is "tell" Excel which cells you want to multiply. So do this:
  • Click inside the cell D15
  • Click inside the Formula Bar at the top
  • Type this:
= B15 * C15
  • Then press the Return key on your keyboard
  • Excel should give you the answer £5.95
  • Your spreadsheet will look like the one below
Multiplying in Excel
So when you want to multiply use this formula:
= Cell reference * Cell Reference
In the formula bar in the image above, you can see the actual formula used:
= B15 * C15
Once we have that formula in place, we can Auto Fill the others. You should know how to do this by now. So Auto Fill the other three costs and your spreadsheet should look like this one:
Multiply a column of figures

Make sure your totals in the Cost column are the same as the ones in the image above. You can then move on to the next part.

Sorting Images in Windows 7  -In the previous section, you learned how to add information to an image. In this section, you'll se what you can do with all this information. This comes under the topic of Sorting. First, though, change your View slider from  Tiles  to  Details : When you arrange the window to Details view, your screen should look like this one: We now have a list of images with the Name, Date, Tags, Size and Ratings showing.

All you need to do is to check each box. The ones not checked will then be hidden: Here, we're choosing to display only 1 and 2 star images, perhaps with a view to deleting them.
