Multiplicaton Calculation

[ll]

How do you perform a simple multiplication calculation in a table - I know
how to add and minus? Any help appreciated. Thanks ll

Use ctrl-F9 to insert a pair of the special field braces {} in the cell
where you want the result, type an = sign between them, then reference the
cells you want to multiply, where the columns are labelled A,B,C... and the
rows are 1,2,3 (as in Excel)

e.g. to multiply the first three cells in the first column:

{ =A1*A2*A3 }

or

{ =product(A1,A2,A3) }

or

{ =product(A1:A3) }

See the following for further info:
