In this article, I will show you how to use the . function SUMMARY in Excel to sum cells.

How to use the SUM function in Excel

Normally, you would use the SUM function in Excel to sum a range of cells.

You can also use the SUM function in Excel to sum a column.

Note: you can also use the SUM function in Excel to sum entire rows. For example, =SUM(5:5) sums all values ​​in the 5th row.

You can also use the SUM function in Excel to sum cells that are not contiguous, that is, not next to each other.

Note: =A3 + A5 + A8 gives the same result.

AutoSum

Use AutoSum or press ALT + = to quickly sum a column or row of numbers.

1. First, select the cell below the column of numbers (or next to the row of numbers) you want to sum.

2. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click AutoSum (or press ATL + =).

3. Press Enter.

Calculating total goods

The SUM formula below uses SUM, MOD, and ROW to sum every nth row. Changing 3 to 4 will sum every 4th row, to 5 to sum every 5th row, etc.

Note: this is an array formula enclosed in curly braces {}. Don’t type these yourself. To enter an array formula, finish by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER.

Add the largest numbers

The SUM formula below uses SUM and LARGE to sum the largest numbers in a range. Change {1,2,3,4} to {1,2,3,4,5} to sum the largest 5 numbers.

Sum cells with no errors

The SUM formula below uses SUM and IFERROR to sum a range of cells with errors. You can also use the Excel AGGREGATE function to sum an error range.

In this article, I will show you how to automatically sum in Excel.

How to automatically sum in Excel

1. Select cell B9 and enter a simple SUM function.

2. Select cell C2 and enter the SUM function shown below.

Explanation: the first cell (B$2) is a mixed reference. I fixed the reference to row 2 by adding a $ symbol in front of the row number. The second cell (B2) is a normal relative reference.

3. Select cell C2, click the lower right corner of cell C2 and drag it down to cell C7.

Explanation: when we drag the formula down, the mixed reference (B$2) stays the same, while the relative reference (B2) changes to B3, B4, B5,…

4. For example, look at the formula in cell C3.

5. For example, look at the formula in cell C4.

6. In step 2, enter the IF function shown below (and drag it down to cell C7) to sum only cells with data.

Explanation: if cell B2 is not empty (<> means not equal), the IF function in cell C2 will sum, otherwise it will display an empty string.

7. Enter data in cell B5.

This article shows you how to create an array formula that sums the largest numbers in a range Excel.

Sum the largest numbers in Excel

1. We use the LARGE function. For example, to find the second largest number, use the following function.

2. To sum the 4 largest numbers, add the SUM function and replace 2 with {1,2,3,4}.

3. Finish by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER.

Note: The formula bar indicates this is an array formula by enclosing it in curly braces {}. Don’t type these yourself. They will disappear when you edit the formula.

SUMIF function in Excel will help you to sum cells based on the condition you want.

How to calculate conditional sum in Excel

1. The SUMIF function below sums the values ​​in the range A1:A5 that are less than or equal to 10.

2. The following SUMIF function gives the same result. The & operator combines the ‘less than or equal’ symbol.

3. The SUMIF function below sums the values ​​in the range B1:B5 if the corresponding cells in the range A1:A5 contain the value 25.

4. The following SUMIF function gives the same result.

Text conditions

Use the SUMIF function in Excel to sum cells based on a text string that meets a condition. Always enclose text in quotes.

1. The SUMIF function below sums the values ​​in the range B1:B5 if the corresponding cells in the range A1:A5 contain “circle”.

2. The SUMIF function below sums the values ​​in the range B1:B5 if the corresponding cells in the range A1:A5 do not contain a “triangle”.

3. The SUMIF function below sums the values ​​in the range B1:B5 if the corresponding cells in the range A1:A5 contain “circle” + 1 character. The question mark (?) represents a character.

4. The SUMIF function below sums the values ​​in the range B1:B5 if the corresponding cells in the range A1:A5 contain a string + le. Asterisk
