Multiplan prints the result of this
formula—8000—in the total
position.
Labor
Materials
Total
I
January
2000
6000
4
Now enter different numbers for
labor and materials costs.
Multiplan instantly adjusts the
total.
Note: If Multiplan does not print
the total, perhaps you omitted
the equal sign (=) when entering
the formula. Blank out your
mistake and enter the formula
again. If it still does not enter
the correct result, perhaps 2000
and 6000 are in the wrong
row/column positions. Blank
them out and try again.
If Multiplan prints
"ttVALUE!,"
you have entered a
number—2000 or
6000—incorrectly. Perhaps you
preceded the number with a
blank space. Blank out both
numbers and enter them again.
Entering
and
Exiting
Spreadsheet
Files
Return to the Main Menu by
pressing COD. On the Main
Menu, you see COSTS.CO. The
.CO extension tells you that
COSTS is a spreadsheet file,
rather than a text file or a
program.
From the Main Menu, you can
enter and use COSTS.CO just as
you can enter a text file—by
moving to the file and pressing
[ENTER). You can also delete,
copy to another bank, or rename
the file, just as you can with a
text file.
Learning More about
Spreadsheets
This chapter gives a simple exam-
ple of a spreadsheet. With 63
columns and 99 rows, and with
Multiplan's many commands and
features, you can make a much
more sophisticated spreadsheet.
Imagine, for example, the power
of the spreadsheet shown in
Figure 1.
To learn how to use Multiplan's
many features, as well as some
helpful Multiplan commands
(such as commands that save a
spreadsheet to tape or copy a
spreadsheet to the same bank^
read the Multiplan manual that
comes with the Tandy 200.
