Excel thinks you are entering a formula when you put a (-) sign in the cell. Try putting a single quote before it and adding it. I.E " '- " without the double quotes. It will work.

Son gave me a kindle fire, says I have an excellent wifi and then asks me to sign up for exfinity? Why isn't my home internet acceptable. Everything else in the house is wireless connected.

There are MANY "XfinityWifi" hotspots around the US. You may have connected to one of them inadvertently. Select the hotspot and choose "Forget this network". Now, connect to your home wifi. Good luck.

I am getting "Authentication Problem" with WiFi on 2 tablets - excellent signal. Accepts the security code and will hold for a minute or so.

I see three points:
1. check if the password of the router is the same you have signed in the wifi-account of your tablets - it's typical that a wrong password is prompted with no error message.
2. check if the wifi-protection of your router has the same type (WPA, WPA2) as your tablets use
3. check if the router accepts new wifi-devices, sometimes there is a checkbox "only known devices can access via wifi"

    Not able to scroll on my excel sheet

    It's only in Excel you can't scroll? Can you scroll from side to side? If you have Excel 2003, try to press the "window" tab on the top and if the freeze pane is checked, uncheck it. Or if it says unfreeze pane, press that one. Hope this helps :)

    Excel

    Step1. Start Microsoft Excelmag-glass_10x10.gif and open the file you want to change. Step2. Double-click on the cell where you want the total to appear. Step3. Press the = key on the keyboard. This tells Excel that you are entering a formula into the cell. Step4. Enter the formula, then press Enter. Follow the steps below for an example. Step5. Enter an opening parenthesis character: (. Step6. Enter a cell name. For example: =(E2. Step7. Press the + key. Step8. Enter another cell name and a closing parenthesis character: ). For example: =(E2+E3). Step9. Enter a minus sign and a third cell name. For example: =(E2+E3)-E4. Step10. Press the Enter key to accept the formula. The cell will display the sum of the first two cells minus the third cell. $('.Article .Steps .Image').each(function(i,e){ e = $(e); e.find('img').error(function(){ $(this).unbind(); e.remove(); }); });
    Tips & Warnings
    • Formulas are just equations. Instead of adding or subtracting numbers you are adding and subtracting the contents of a cell.
    • Excel includes a number of predefined functions to use as well. You can combine the predefined functions into your own formula. (See "How to Use Provided Excel Formulas.")
    I hope it helps!!!

    Can't reopen circular reference file in excel

    1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , click Excel Options, and then click the Formulas category.
    2. In the Calculation options section, select the Enable iterative calculation check box.
    3. To set the maximum number of times that Excel will recalculate, type the number of iterations in the Maximum Iterations box. The higher the number of iterations, the more time that Excel needs to calculate a worksheet.
    4. To set the maximum amount of change you will accept between calculation results, type the amount in the Maximum Change box. The smaller the number, the more accurate the result and the more time that Excel needs to calculate a worksheet.
