Adding numbers in a column- Excel 98

[Charlie]

Hi-
I have an old version of Excel, 98, running in Classic on a 400 MHZ G4.
I know next to nothing about how to use it, but lately I'm having to
learn a bit. How do you get the darn program to add up the numbers in a
column to give you a Grand Total at the bottom? Someone please help. I
need a step one, step, two, step three-- sort of answer. Thanks.

Suppose your numbers are in cells A1 to A10.
In the cell where you want the total (cell A11), put =sum(A1:A10)
(the equals sign is important).

That should do the trick.
