To enter a formula manually, follow these steps:
Move the cell pointer to the cell that you want to hold the formula.
Type an equals sign (5) to signal the fact that the cell contains a formula.
Type the formula, then press Enter.
Rounding: These templates have not been formatted to round numbers to either the nearest whole number or the nearest cent. For example, 17.65 x 1.5=26.475. The template will display 26.48 but hold 26.475. If you want to use 26.48 you will need to use Excel’s rounding function.
In order to tell Excel to round to the nearest whole penny you must enter the formula as: round(17.65*1.5,2). This tells Excel to multiply 17.65 x 1.5, then round to 2 decimals. Excel will now display and hold the amount as 26.48.
Remember to save your work. When saving your workbook, Excel overwrites the previous copy of your file. You can save your work at any time.
