setup.
Set up your spreadsheet so it looks like the one below. Be sure to widen column A and
right align the label in Cell A4. Right align ALL the numbers in cells B1 through E3.
TO ALIGN THE CONTENTS OF A CELL: Click on the cell, then go up to the
Formatting toolbar. The alignment icons appear just as they do in Microsoft Word
or Publisher. Click on the Align Right icon.

Click on Cell B4. Type =B1+B2+B3. Press <Enter>. How else could you have typed this
formula?
Answer: =sum(b1:b3)
Are you still on Cell B4?. The Entry Bar displays the formula =B1+B2+B3. This is the
formula that we want to copy to cells C4, D4, and E4.
To save time and effort, the Fill Right command, similar to Fill Down, can be used. It will
automatically copy and paste the formula to the additional cells in the row, making the
adjustments for the new columns.
Click on Cell B4 one more time. Position the cursor in the lower right-hand corner until it
changes to a thin cross. Left click and hold down.
Drag to cell E4 and let go.
Change to formula view (Remember? Control plus the ~ key above TAB). Did your
formulas change as they should? Compare your formulas to the Answer Key.
