Excel

Dear Linda

Thank you for attending Excel Intro Course. I hope you enjoyed the course and it was beneficial to you.

SUM is one of the many functions that Excel provides you. The purpose of functions is that it save you time and confusion when performing calculations. For example if you were to Add Ten cells then you would have to press = and then type in each cell followed by the + sign nine times.

Sum function allows to simplify things. You press = and then type Sum followed by the bracket and then simply select the cells that you intend to Add.
e.g.
=SUM(A2:A10)

Another easier method of Sum is to use the AutoSum feature.

You simply click on the cell where you want the result. Click on the AutoSum Button which is on the the standard toolbar on the right hand side. This is like a Letter E ( also known as Greek Letter Sigma).

I hope this has helped in answering your question.
