4. Using AutoSum Option
For quick and everyday tasks, AutoSum is your go-to option. So, navigate to the
Home tab, in the far-right corner, click the AutoSum option. Then click the caret
to show other hidden formulas. This option is also available in the Formulas
tab first option after the Insert Function option.
Alternatively, the Autosum Excel function can be accessed by typing ALT + the =
sign in a spreadsheet and it will automatically create a formula to sum all the
numbers in a continuous range.
Step 1: Place the cursor below the column of numbers you want to sum (or to
the left of the row of numbers you want to sum).
Step 2: Hold down the Alt key and then press the equals = sign while still
holding Alt.
Step 3: Press Enter.
