Summing It Up: The Many Ways to Total in Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel
Have you ever found yourself needing to add up a long list of numbers? 

Whether you’re balancing your checkbook or calculating the total cost of a project, summing a series of numbers is a common task. 

But did you know that there are several ways to accomplish this? 

Here's a Cool Tip:  Use the Excel keyboard shortcut.

To total, or sum, a series of numbers in Excel, you can use several methods:

Use Addition:
  • This is a very simple method to add the value of several cells containing numbers together. 
  • Use the Formula: =A1 + A2 + A3 + A4  where A1, A2, A3 and A4 are the cells containing the numbers you want to total.
  • This works for a few cells but is unwieldy for a large set of numbers.

Use the SUM function:  
  • The SUM function is a built-in function in Excel that allows you to easily add up a range of cells. 
  • To use the SUM function, simply enter the formula =SUM(A1:A4) where A1:A4 is the range of cells containing the numbers you want to total.

Use AutoSum: 
  • AutoSum is a tool in Excel that automatically selects a column or row of numbers and calculates their sum. 
  • To use AutoSum, select the cell where you want to display the sum, then click on the AutoSum button in the toolbar on your screen.

Super Cool Tip:

Use the Excel Keyboard Shortcut ALT + = to sum a series of numbers in a column or a row.
