How to multiply columns in excel

I'm looking to get totals in my report by multiplying columns in excel.  But NOT with a constant number.  The value of the numbers is different for each line.

    Your request is more than a little confusing, I'm afraid.

    Totals are the result of adding, yet you are talking of multiplying (which yields "products").

     

    And multiplying is actually fairly easy (=A1*B1, for example), and a formula like that could be copied down row after row, using different variables in each case (whatever is in A2 by whatever is in B2).

     

    So could I suggest you post a copy of the workbook you're using, with a bit more of an explanation of the desired result.
