OpenOffice Calc Formulas Overview

OpenOffice Calc, the spreadsheet program offered free of charge by openoffice.org, allows you to perform calculations on data entered into the spreadsheet.

You can use OpenOffice Calc formulas for basic number crunching, such as addition or subtraction, as well as more complex calculations such as payroll deductions or averaging a student's test results.

In addition, if you change the data Calc will automatically recalculate the answer without you having to re-enter the formula.

The following step by step example covers how to create and use a basic formula in OpenOffice Calc.
