multiplication formula
I am trying to multiply 2 numbers across in a table. I don't know why I'm
having so much trouble. I have a table with 7 cells across. Cell 1 is text, cell 2 is text, cell 3 is a number, cell 4 is text, cell 5 is a number, cell 6 is text and cell 7 should be the multiplication answer. In cell 7, I have the formula: =PRODUCT(LEFT), which should calculate all the numbers across and skip any text. It doesn't work. It will work if I omit 1 column therefore having the 2 columns with the numbers next to each other. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, ll

multiplication formula
Formulas using (ABOVE) and (LEFT) stop whenever they encounter a blank cell
or one containing text. For this to work, you'll have to use specific cell references. -- Suzanne S.

multiplication formula
I did try putting in where the formula should be: =PRODUCT(C1*E1), but that
didn't work either - could tell me what I'm doing wrong? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Formulas using (ABOVE) and (LEFT) stop whenever they encounter a blank cell or one containing text.

Well, you can use either { = C1*E1 } or { = PRODUCT(C1,E1) }
