Creating a formula that calculates a total cell

[Guest]

I have a spreadsheet that I use for an order guide. The spreadsheet contains
the 1st sheet which is for inventory and the next 6 sheets are the order
pages.
Each time I enter a # of pcs. on the order sheet it reduces the inventory
sheet #'s.
Heres the delima. I have set up a new column to pull over from the inventory
page and displays the price on each order sheet. I would like to set up a
formula that references the price , multiplies it by the # of pcs,and at a
new cell adds all the references from the entire column giving me a dollar
total. Any thoughts?

If Price in Column A and Qty in Column B then in Column C:

=A1*C1 and copy down

Order dollar total =SUM(C1:C10) for 10 order lines

Any taxes to be added?

Is this this what you want?

ok so I would like to connect both of those formula's
here's a sample
Quantity
Item Cost Client Name
day need tues
basil $5.00 3
bananas $25.00 1
beets $32.00
carrots $10.00 1
corn $20.00 2
cucumbers $30.00 1

$120
does this make any sense?

So do I have to make a new column???

If Price in Column A and Qty in Column B then in Column C:

=A1*C1 and copy down

Order dollar total =SUM(C1:C10) for 10 order lines

Any taxes to be added?

Is this this what you want?

In C1 enter =A1*B1

Double-click on the fill handle of C1 to copy down.

The total cell can be anywhere, say in D1

=SUM(C:C)
