The SUM function.
Select your data and click the AutoSum button. That will sum each column in the range. Alternatively, click the Autosum button and fill in the range you want to Sum.
Yes, you can do that. If you have a series of columns, you can highlight all of the column to select the range. When you click on the auto-sum button, Excel will insert =SUM(XX:XX) at the bottom of each column in the range.
Sum Function
false
To divide the sum of a data set by the number of values is called the "mean" function of the data set. It is called the AVERAGE function in Excel.
=SUM(X1:X10)
Use the sum function type: =Sum( and then select the range of cells you want to sum and then type a close bracket ) Or select the cells you want to sum, go to Formulas in the ribbon, and click "Autosum"
If you are using Microsoft Word Excel then you could just use the Auto Sum.
Sum is a mathematical term that is more commonly used than totals. A SUM function is found in all spreadsheet applications, not just Excel. There were other spreadsheet programs in existence before Excel and they used Sum, so Excel was following the standard. The SUM function is actually capable of doing lots of other things, as you can enclose any calculation in its brackets, though it is generally best to reserve SUM for summing a range of cells. There is also a function in Excel called SUBTOTAL which can do a range of calculations, combining some of the standard ones into a single function, such as summing, averaging, finding a maximum and minimum value etc.Sum is a mathematical term that is more commonly used than totals.

No, the range automatically selected by Excel isn't always right. Excel doesn't know what the user wants to select, but chooses what might be appropriate, like the column of numbers above a SUM function. The user can go with what Excel has chosen, or choose their own cells.
SUMIFS was new in Excel 2007.
Enter =sum(A1:A20) in the cell that you would like to display the sum, where A1:A20 is the range of cells you would like to add.
