Is there a way to calculate 4x10 in a single cell?

I am trying to calculate construction measurements.
I am new to excel but love it.
Thanks,

= 4 * 10

Thanks,

Hi Novice,

Not quite sure what you are trying to do, but try some of these

if you want the calulation in a single cell, type this

=4*10

or if in cell A1 you type 4 and in cell A2 you type 10, then in cell A3 type this

=A1 * A2

Alterative click on Help and type formulas and you will get loads of information, or in Google type Excel Tutorials

=SUM(4*10)

Enter this into the cell:

=4x10

Hope this helps.

You don't need =sum() surrounding the multiplication:

=4*10

is sufficient.

Oops.
x = *
=4*10

(If the OP is asking this question, then a typo may scare the heck out of
him/her.)

Maybe I've been doing this too long! I think of an asterisk as a
multiplication symbol and write it as such. Thanks for the catch!

You programmers!

I bet that they'll start teaching gradeschoolers to use * instead of x for
multiply.

Calculators will be next to change!
