Numbers Question

[Knightoftheapp]

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this but can anyone tell me how to add a column of numbers in the Numbers spreadsheet?

Enter the "sum" sign (looks like the Greek letter sigma) in the first blank cell under the column.

Apps empire:
I'm afraid I wasn't very clear. If in Numbers on the iPad, tap the cell below the column. Hit the equal sign and the tap "function". You'll see the "sum" function.

Thanks for your help.

For summing columns ( and only colums ) you can use the SUM key on the keypad ( in formula entry mode ). I suppose Apple offered this shortcut because adding a column of numbers is such a common feature of spreadsheets.
