SUM

The SUM function can be used to find the total of numbers entered in a range of cells. The

SUM function follows the following syntax:

=SUM (number1, [number2],

[number3], ...)

1. Move the cell pointer to the cell (E2). Select SUM from the Autosum dropdown menu

available in the Functions tab.

2. Now enter the cell range B2:D2 within the two brackets appearing in the (E2) cell. The

cell range can also be given by using the mouse. Click on the starting cell (B2) of the
range and then drag the mouse to the last cell (D2) of the range, while holding down
the mouse button.
