 |
|
Hey i need to calculate totals from multiple cells but they are not all in the same columns.
for example i have numbers in culumn 'B' in rows 5, 11, 12, 18-24, 27-30 AND in column 'G' rows 5-9, 11-16, 18-25, etc.
How can i get OO to calculate all these numbers for me and if i were to add more rows (such as 'B' 6-12, 25-30, etc) would it total those numbers for me as well? |

According to Calc Help ( F1 key or from the Menu: Help -> OpenOffice.org Help ) for SUM function :
| Calc Help: SUM function wrote: |
SUM
Adds all the numbers in a range of cells.
Syntax
SUM(Number1; Number2; ...; Number30)
Number 1 to Number 30 are up to 30 arguments whose sum is to be calculated. |
Therefore, per your description, in the cell you want it to calculate the additions . . . it might be:
| Code: | | =SUM( B5; B11:B12; B18:B24; B27:B30; G5:G9; G11:G16; G18:G25 ) |
Likewise, per documentation, you can have up to 30 parameters, and, if more are needed, just use multiple SUM functions . . . where each SUM may have a maximum of 30 parameters.
I hope this helps, please be sure to let me / us know.

I have two columns; unit price and total price and I need to get a running total at the bottom of each column.
I've read a couple of Access books and they suggest using =Sum([Unit Price]) but I have not been able to make this work. Am I missing something somewhere? Do I need a query or can I run this directly from the main table?
