A basic spreadsheet has one table on it but allows you to add more to customize your organization. As with other spreadsheets, typing an equals symbol invokes the formula editor.

After you type the formula and press Enter, you’ll see the result in that cell. For a simple example, we enter a formula in cell E2 to get the sum of the values in cells B2 and C2.

Enter the formula by which you want to multiply the numbers in the columns. You can enter the formula into any cell, but for this example, assume you enter it in cell C1.
