How do I copy the same formula for more than one cell?

Hello Gemma

there are a few ways to copy over formula to other cells you can simply use copy and paste in various ways either through the edit menu, the toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts these would be control and X to cut, control and C to copy or control and V to paste

the easiest way to copy the formulas is to use the fill handle and how to do this is as follows

using the cell you want to copy there is a black square at the bottom righthand corner of the cell when you move your cursur there it will become a small black cross, you then click and drag it either over or down

Hope this will help you

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
