tips
TIP:

For the method above, I added the horizontal cell data to produce an output result at the right hand side, but you can also use similar method when you want to add data in vertical cells to produce results at the bottom.

  • METHOD 2 (USING AUTOSUM)
  • Step 1 - Click or Select the free cell beside the where the addition result should be displayed.
    • addition-in-excel
  • Step 2 - Click the Home tab, go to the Editing group and click on the AutoSum button.
    • addition-in-excel
  • Step 3 - The range of cells to be added will be selected and the cell that the result will be displayed in will have the function for adding the cells. Function for sum ( =SUM(the cell address of the first cell:the cell address of the last cell) In my case: =SUM(B3:D3).
    Now press the Enter key on your keyboard.
    • addition-in-excel
  • Step 4 - The cells data will be automatically added up and the selection will move to the next cell.
    • addition-in-excel
  • Step 5 - Now to get the sum of the remaing cells, place the mouse pointer close to the small black box at the bottom right edge of the cell (sum total) as shown in the image below. You will notice that the mouse pointer changes to a plus sign icon.
    • addition-in-excel
  • Step 6 - Hold down the click button and drag down to the rest of the cells.
    • addition-in-excel
  • Step 7 - Release the click button, and the other cells will automatically add up and display the result.
    • addition-in-excel

This method 2 above is also similar to Function Method. In the Function Method, just type in the function for sum inside the cell you want to show the results and press Enter on your keyboard. Then follow the same steps above.
