Let me suggest something before you get all tied up over-thinking this problem. There's no reason you need to keep those totals on the right or at the bottom of the spreadsheet. She computer doesn't care, and it's a lot more convenient if you keep totals in the left column and on top. I like to keep an empty row and column between data cells and total cells because it is safer.
Like other guys said, the formula to multiply the number in one column by the number in another column is this: =c3*d3 and once you put the = sign in a cell you can point to c3, enter the asterisk in the cell, point to d3, press the enter key and you're done.
You can copy and paste your newly-created formula to the next cell, and the next, etc.
To get a total at the bottom of a column of numbers, select the sigma sign. It looks kind of like an E. Excel will ask you if you are sure. Answer yes by pressing enter again.
send me an email at captgravity(ampersand)hotmail.com and I will send you a small example. I do a lot of spreadsheets at work.
