I have some simple spreadsheets with columns of 16-20 figures. I want to be able to find the average of all the values in any given column.

I am quite certain that I have done this before in a very simple fashion not requiring formulas etc but for the life of me I can't remember how.

I could have done them all manually by now in the time I have wasted in the Help files and reading my EXCEL Dummies & "Easy Steps" books, but now I am getting ornery and I am determined to do it automatically or die trying.

Cheers

Can anybody help?

Hmmm..... Thanks Slim

Sounds simple (and familiar) but I can't find Autosum. I guess I need to display a toolbar but I'll have to go back to the Help files (or Dummies) to find out how.:(
