Its True! In most computer programs there are several ways to do the same thing. There are exceptions where an approach that will give you the correct answer may not hold when you do expand or modify your document.

There are exceptions where an approach that will give you the correct answer may not hold when you do expand or modify your document.

All Formulas are Not Equal For Example: =B2+B3+B4+B5+B6 Will add the numbers in cell B2 through B6 But it is not the same as =sum(B2:B6) This will also add the numbers in cells B2 through B6 But it will also adjust automatically if you add rows between B2 and B6 For Example: =B2+B3+B4+B5+B6 Will add the numbers in cell B2 through B6 But it is not the same as =sum(B2:B6) This will also add the numbers in cells B2 through B6 But it will also adjust automatically if you add rows between B2 and B6

All Formulas are Not Equal =sum(B2:B6) is also shorter to type =sum(B2:B6) is also what you get when you use autosum Remember, sum is only to be used for addition. =sum(B2:B6) is also shorter to type =sum(B2:B6) is also what you get when you use autosum Remember, sum is only to be used for addition.

Multiplication Multiplication is easy! =Cell Name*Amount For example =b5*2.3% Or =b5*.023 Either of these will give you the exact same answer. Watch your decimal points! Most mistakes are due to wrong decimal point location. Hint: If your taxes or reserve is higher than your income for the column, you made a mistake!
