SayPro Use Formulas in a Table

It is possible to use formulas and some basic functions in tables in Microsoft Word. It is not as powerful at calculating as Excel, and the table does not have the row and column headers like a spreadsheet, however table cells can still be referenced by using a cell reference such as B1.

1. Click in the cell where you want to insert the formula
2. Click on the Layout tab of the Ribbon
3. Click the Formulas button

4. Enter the formula in the Formula box

The image above shows the Sum function being used to add the values in a column

5. Select the required format from the Number format drop down list such as currency or whole number
6. The Paste function drop down list can be used to insert basic functions into the formula
7. Click OK

If any of the values being used in a formula changes, the formula will need to be manually updated. Formulas use fields which can be updated by selecting the field and pressing theF9 key.When inserting functions the direction of the cells can be used as an alternative to the cell references in Word. For example, =SUM (ABOVE) is used instead of =SUM (B2:B5) in the formula shown above. This is because the formula adds all the values in the cells above.
