So if you know the two cells you want multiplied you should just be able
to type in the formula. One tricky bit is if you type anything starting
with a letter it assumes you are entering text, not a label. So if the
two numbers are in cells A1 and A2 you can type the formula =A1*A2 using
an asterisk for the multiplication. One annoying thing I noticed is that
when I hit = it pops some little modal dialog for the formula so I end
up typing a1+a2= so I have to arrow right once after typing the = to get
the order correct.

Hi there
Go to the first one you want. If you are doing a row, be sure to start
with the one on the left. If you are doing a column, start with the
one at the top of where you want to begin. In theory you can do it the
other way, but I have never been able to make that work. Staying on
top of the last one you select, go to the menu with VO m. Go to
insert and down arrow to formula. Find product, sum or whatever. Press
ENTER. If you have equal signs or a line separating your figures, be
sure to be on top of that before you go to the menu. You want your
separator line into the formula. I hope this makes sense.

Hello to the list.
I may be missing something very basic about concepts for using Numbers.
With two adjacent numbers, either in a row or a column, I cannot get
the Product function in numbers to multiply the entries.
I’ve tried selecting the numbers, but that did not seem to work, but
placing the cursor in an adjacent blank cell, I went to the insert
menu, then formulas, and tried both Enter and VO Spacebar on Product.
Clearly this must be operator error, so any hints about performing
basic formula calculations would be really helpful.
Thanks.
