How to quickly sum a set of values in Microsoft Excel?


To quickly sum a set of values in Microsoft Excel,

• Select the cells you want to sum (Hold CTRL key to select non-adjacent cells)
• Right click the status bar and select SUM (This is the default option)
• Now check out the sum of the numbers you selected in the status bar.

You can use this same tip to count a range of cells, count the numbers in a range of cells, to find the average for a range of cells, to find the maximum value from a range of cells, to find the minimum value from a range of cells. Just select the appropriate option from the status bar.

You can select only one option among Sum,Average,Count,Count Nums,Max,Min. But in Microsoft Excel 2007, you can use all the options by clicking them in the status bar.
