Sum Cells Across Columns in Excel
Sum Cells Across Columns in Excel
[pic]
I want to create a new column which is, for each row, the sum of the scores in specified columns of that row. For the spreadsheet below, I want to sum columns B through E and put the sum in column H. In cell H2 I type “=SUM(B2:E2)” Note that the selected range of cells is then outlined in blue.

Now I hit the enter key. The sum is place in cell H2.

Now I select cell H2 again and CTRL-C. The border becomes animated dashes. Now I click on the cell below and drag across the remaining cells in the column to select them.

Ctrl-V to paste the copied formula into the selected cells. The result of the formula is displayed in the cells into which it was copied.

Suppose I wanted to sum B and D. I would use “SUM(B2,E2)”.
When the data in the cells used by a formula are changed later, the results of the formulas using those cells are also changed.
Now suppose I want to past into another column (in the same or another spreadsheet) the values in the column with sums. If I do just a regular copy and paste it copies the formulae, not the values. I need to do a special paste and ask that the values only be pasted.
Edit, Past Special, Values
