How do you add up a column in Excel

If you want to quickly calculate the sum of a column in Excel, for example you want to know the total sum of sales for a country, you can use the “autosum” function of Excel, proceeding as follows.

Step 1 – Select the first cell after the column

– Select the first cell at the bottom of the column, where you’ll insert the column sum.

Step 2 – Add up the column
