  2. Click on the "1" of row 1 to highlight the entire row, center each, italics them, change font if you wish
  3. Enter four room names such as "Living Room", Master Bed Room" etc. as row labels in column A

  8. In B5 to C5, enter dimension for fourth room in feet.  In D5 enter a cost per square yard for carpet in fourth room.
  9. Position in cell E2. Calculate the cost to carpet room one.  Remember you are dealing with room dimensions in linear feet and cost per square yard. 
    (think about a square yard that you must carpet with 1 by 1 carpet tiles, how many will you need?)
  10. Position in E2, type an = to indicate a formula is coming,
    click B2, the length, type a *, to multiply. click C2 the width
    type a / to divide and type a 9 because there are 9 square feet in a square yard
    finally  type a *, to multiply and click on the cost per square yard in D2 and press Enter cause you are done.
  11. Drag this formula down 3 rows by positioning on black square on lower right of E2 so the cursor turns into a black cross and pull down 4 rows.
  12. Position in cell E6.  Use AutoSum icon (the sigma) on toolbar to total (sum) the room costs
  13. Save the sheet to your M drive as CARPET or whatever makes sense to you.
  14. Put in a Header using File menu Page Setup. Put your name and the date etc. in the header.  Make it looks nice using the A icon

    In the 3rd argument click B7 - the 10%, then type a *, the sign for multiplication.
    Click E6, the total, then type - because only the amount OVER 500 gets discounted.  Then click D7 the 500. 
    Finally looking at the formula note that the subtraction must occur before the multiplication so put it in parenthesis.
  17. Type "Net Due" in A8.
