Sum function

How do you use the sum function?

RE: sum function

Hi Michelle

Thanks for your question.

You can enter the sum function into your spreadsheet by selecting the cell where you want your total to appear and clicking on the AutoSum button on the standard toolbar (the AutoSum button looks a bit like an E).

Check the formula that Excel enters into the cell for you - if it is adding together the wrong things, you can either use your mouse to select the cells you wish to add otherwise you can edit the formula so it adds together the cells you want.

If you want to know more look up Autosum in Excel Help.

thanks
Amanda
