I have a small question, it seems rather odd that someone would want to put
this in an excel spreadsheet as Excel has all the capabilities and more than
your basic calculator can do, but with some of my daily travels, i do a lot
of just basic math and instead of typing it in and setting everything OR
opening up the windows calculator, i would kinda like to have one planted in
a fixed or adjustable location on a spreadsheet as an add-in or so on. Is
this possible? Its mainly for basic math ( +, -, *, / ) type calculations so
nothing major but it would just be easier. Any ideas

Just create a basic template for those routine tasks and whenever you
have to use them, open the template, enter your data and voila you get
your answers! Not a rocket a science I guess!

you may do basic calculations in any empty cell just as you would a
"calculator"

Yes I know that.....I'm looking to add a basic calculator into the
spreadsheet so I can eventually lock the spreadsheet into its appearance so
it cant be changed and having that calculator on there will just help with
what I want to do. Now I can go through with VB and actually code your
simple calculator but i wanted to know if there were any other ways of doing
so...
