How do you jump all the way back to cell A1 without moving the way out.
If you lost over here I don't know how to get home and then you just go Ctrl + Home wow and then boom you're back to A1 and then go Enter and that's your answer.

Step aside.
So hey once you have the 12 x 12 or 12 yeah 12 times 12 up here, if we would need to see 13 x 13, we don't have to come down here and enter 13.
We can just go back to the original cells.
Once I've 13. Ctrl + Enter.

And it gave us the 161. Then why'd you come down here and build a whole new section this first sheet. That didn't work.

I know because I like extra work. Extra work. Okay.
6 times 6. There you go. All right, Mike. Oh, yeah.
6 times 6 Okay, well, I'm super lazy, so I'm going to say 6 and then = up arrow and Bugs Bunny's favorite number, the number six with the shift and 2. ^2 means exponent 2. So now I'm super lazy. I just type 7 and I get 49.
9 81.
I didn't know how to do this.
13 169 18 289 Put a 1000 a 1000 1000 a 1000?
