The best way is to use the SUM function. If the block of cells you wanted to add were all the cells from A2 to C10, then you would type this:

=SUM(A2:C10)

How do you change multiple hyperlinks in Excel worksheet?

Hyperlinks can only be changed one at a time. You can select a range of cells and apply the same link to all of them, even without text in them. Select the cell or cells and press Ctrl - K to open the dialog box. You cannot put different links into the cells at one time. So if your cells are to have different links, then they have to be done one at a time. If one block of cells have all set to have the same link, then that can be removed at once. If there are different links in a block of cells, then each link must be removed individually.

It is possible to select non-contiguous ranges by first selecting one range and then while holding the Ctrl key, select other ranges.
