You need to know what cells or numbers you are summing. They need to be enclosed in the brackets of the SUM function. Say you were adding the values in the cells from A2 to A20, then you would go to a blank cell and type:
=SUM(A2:A20)
Then press the Enter key.
A formula in Microsoft excel is like a formula in real life, like a math equation or math problem (ie. 2+2=4). You write the Excel formula like this: =2+2Actually it is more like =A1+A2 Or =SUM(A1:D2)The SUM is a Function the A1 -> D2 is The RangeAnd the : is the argument. When you have =SUM(A1:D2)you are adding the cell from A1 -> D2 so you are adding them together
A nested formula is where one or more functions are placed inside another function to make a formula. For example you can write a formula where you put an IF function within an IF function and this would be a nested formula.
To reference an Excel sheet in a formula or function, you can use the sheet name followed by an exclamation mark (!) before the cell reference. For example, to reference cell A1 in a sheet named "Sheet1", you would write "Sheet1!A1" in the formula.
Formulas.
Microsoft excel is a spreadsheet program developed by Microsoft corporation. There are different version of Microsoft excel with the latest being Microsoft excel 2010 which is boundled with Microsoft office 2010. Microsoft excel contains basic features of which all the spreadsheet programs have. It has worksheets which are a grid of cells. The grid of cell is arranged in rows and columns with the rows being referred to with numbers and rows with alphabetical letters. Microsoft excel has many wonderful features to offer the small business user. Excel is mosyt widely known for its spreadsheet function, though it has numerous other uses. Spreadsheets are useful to any type of small business. For example, spreadsheet can be used as an accountant's ledger or a professor's grade book. Invoices and budgets can be prepaired with excel and one might use it to balance a checkbook as well.
What kind of code do you want to write? There are so many codes (do you mean formulas?) you can write with Microsoft Excel and it would take a 600 page handbook to write them all out.If you know what kind of a code you want to write in Microsoft Excel, you can ask another question here on WikiAnswers containing that information. You could also visit the help files from within the Microsoft Excel program or Google it specifically -- chances are, someone, somewhere has written and used the exact code you are looking for and they've probably posted it somewhere on the Internet already.

If you mean Excel, you always need a formula; there is no way around that. As a shortcut to adding numbers individually, you can use the SUM() function. Within the parentheses, you can write a range, for example: =SUM(A1:A4) This is a function but it is still also a formula. You may have confused the two things. All functions in use are in formulas and you can have formulas that have no functions.
I don't believe that Excel has such a function; you'll have to write one yourself.
Word: A word processor, used to write texts.Excel: This is a spreadsheet program. Great for doing calculations. Access: A relatively simple database system. PowerPoint: This is a presentation software.
Excel STILL does not have a specific significant figures function and will only accept 15 significant figures when entering numbers. Quite simply you have to write your own formula and have to do workarounds when entering longer numbers.
In Excel you calculate and have alarge number of formulae to perform a variety of operations on the numbers you put into clls. In Word you write text and format written documents.
