Answer 2

To sum the data entered in the cells there are two ways:

1. Use the SUM formula

A) =SUM(Range of Cells i.e. Starting Cell : Ending Cell)

Example

=SUM(A1:A4)

B) =SUM(Each Cell Address separated with a comma(,))

Example

=SUM(A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B5)

2. Use the AUTOSUM feature

AutoSum is present in Home Tab. To use it select the cell immediately below the last number in the column if you want to sum a column of numbers or select the cell immediately to the right if you want to sum a row of numbers.

After selecting click on the AutoSum and it will write the required formula to add value and then press Enter to get the final value after addition.

Extra Information

In Excel, columns are named as A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on.

In Excel, rows are named as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on.

Cells in an Excel sheet are made with intersections of rows and columns.

Cell Address is used to identify cell on an Excel Sheet and Cell Address comprises of a letter and a number. The letter shows the column and the number shows the row.

Example

A1

In this, it is the cell that is present in column A and row 1.

D6

In this, it is the cell that is present in column D and row 6.

Function is a predefined formula that allows users to perform mathematical, statistical, and logical operations.

There are various functions in Microsoft Excel some of them are:

1. SUM

2. AVERAGE

3. COUNT

4. IF

5. MAX

6. MIN

There are two formats by which you can apply Excel functions on cells.

1. Name of Function (Range of Cells i.e. Starting Cell : Ending Cell)

Example

=AVERAGE(A1:A3)

2. Name of Function (Each Cell Address separated with a comma(,))

Example

=AVERAGE(A1,A2,A3)

Example

Suppose you want to add values present in cells from A1 to A5 and display the sum in A6.

First, write the values in A1 to A5 and then click on A6 cell and type=SUM(A1:A5)

After that press "Enter"

In the A6 cell, you will get the sum of values present in cells from A1 to A5.

In case you have typed the wrong formula or want to modify it then you can click on the cell where you have written the formula and there will be a Formula Bar available above the worksheet area which will show the formula that you have written in the cell and you can edit it.
