Excel driving me NUTS...help

[TK]

All I want Excel to do is simple task, each time in enter
and invoice number in Cell E I want it to add that number
to Cell F for a Total.

I have been through the tutorial a dozen times and nothing
works or tells me how to set up this simple function.
I have typed =Total + Invoice; =F + E; in the F cell
formula and nothing. All it does is place the formula in
the cell instead of TOTAL.

This is really frustrating.

Help please, I have gone to the website noted and there is
nothing that helped me, I think the task is too simple and
the sites are beyond this.

Based on what you're asking for, it's not really a total, it's just the same
value that's in cell E. If that's all you want to do simply click on cell F,
then press the Equals key, point to cell E with the arrow key then press the
Enter key. You should end up with a formula in cell F which looks like "=E1".

If you really want a total from more than one cell use the Sum feature. There's
an icon on the tool bar. Review its usage in Excel's Help.
