https://vid.me/UgNo Spread your work out how you want it with sc. There are two views of the main sheet (green), and two sets (yellow and blue) of other sheets. Data enterened into any of the auxilliary sheets gets totaled and sent to the main sheet.

Nice retro computing video. When was that from, 1980s?

I would say, expensive and weak computers ;p

They were more fun to use though. It didn't matter which computer you owned as they were all fun in their own way. None of us remember the long load times for disk-based games and how expensive the hardware was but we DO remember how promising the future looked.

I remember heaving to wait 5 minutes for tape to load 41kb game .... Getting first floppy drive was relief... computer with a GUI, yeah I couldn't afford it... then again, not until 1994 I really start to enjoy computers...

The first game I bought for the commodore 64 was Temple of Apshaie, which was on tape. It took almost 20 minutes to load. And remember that the commodore 64 only had 38911 bytes free on boot up.
