Trouble with adding numbers in a column
Hello, Just recently I've run into trouble adding the numbers in a column. I used to highlight the column and (thought) I went to the sigma/formula symbol and clicked on that. Even when it says "...
It seems like you are having trouble summing the numbers in a column in Microsoft Excel.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Click on the cell where you want the sum to appear.
- Type =SUM( in that cell.
- Now, select the range of cells you want to sum. For example, if you want to sum the numbers in column A from A1 to A10, select those cells.
- After selecting the range, close the formula by typing ).
So your formula should look like this: =SUM(A1:A10).
- Finally, press Enter, and Excel will calculate and display the sum of the selected numbers in the cell.
If you encounter any issues with this method, please provide more details.
