On your keyboard you can press the Alt and the + key to get a sum. You can also type in the SUM function in full. You can click on the Σ button too to get a sum.
The Autosum button.
The Average function. For example, to get the mean of the cells from A2 to A15, you would use it this way: =AVERAGE(A2:A15)
A Range
Yes, a range is a contiguous block of cells.
Many functions can be used to calculate a value. It depends on what exactly what you want to do. To total a range of cells you use the SUM function, one of the most commonly used functions. The following will add the values in all the cells from A2 to A20. =SUM(A2:A20)
You calculate the range by subtracting the first and last number in the sequence
calculate range of percentages
A range is a collection of cells (e.g. A1:A4 is the range of the cells from A1 to A4).
The Criteria Range is a range of cells that hold cells from which criteria are tested for functions in Excel.
An input range could be the range of cells a function needs to be entered to do its task. Many functions use input ranges. If you wanted a sum of a range of cells and specified them in a range, that would be an input range. In the following example the cells from A2 to A20 are the input range: =SUM(A2:A20)
The range finder will show what cells are included. However, as only the user can know what the formula is meant to be and what cells should be included, you cannot say that the range finder verifies the cells that are intended. The range finder just lets the user see what cells have been included and then the user can accept them or change the cells that are selected.
A table is an organized group of cells for a specifc purpose. A range is a group of cells, but may or may not be organized. A table always has a range, but a range might not contain cells from a table.
They are called a range or sometimes a block.
