Try This: Enter the Labels In Cell A1 type: Monday Use the AutoFill Handle to fill in the series. In Cell G1 type: Total   If these are labels (and they are): Select Row 1. Go to Home->Font->Bold.   Try This, Too: Format the Column Width Select Columns A:G Go to Home->Cells->Format. Click on Column Width. Enter the width: 12. So far so good. Keep going...
