QuickBooks Tip - Perform Simple Calculations in Any Number Field

Did you know that in many input forms within Quickbooks (bills, checks, invoices, etc.), that you can make simple calculations in any number field?  No?  Oh you are missing out.  We just love this.  But we love numbers too, so we may just be weird cool that way.

So, if you’re creating an invoice/bill/check/whatever and you need to quickly add, subtract, multiply or divide, you can highlight the field you want to use and quickly make the calculation.

Let's say to add, enter the first amount, then press the “+” key. Continue adding each number followed by the “+” key. After you’ve entered the last number, press the “Enter” key to total your numbers and put the total figure in your amount.

This is much easier than switching back and forth between your calculator and the open QuickBooks screen.

Tell your old tape calculator we never meant to hurt it.  It's not them, it's us.
