Sum Symbol Used in aSpreadsheet Example

Adding + = A1 + B2

U i F l i S d h t


33/49



Adding + = A1 + B2

Subtracting - = A1

B2

U i F l i S d h t


34/49



Adding + = A1 + B2

Subtracting - = A1

B2Multiplying * (star) = A1 * B2

U i F l i S d h t


35/49



Adding + = A1 + B2

Subtracting - = A1

B2Multiplying * (star) = A1 * B2

Dividing / = A1/ B2
