The

add the values of multiple cells. By using
=SUM(B2:B4), you can add all the values from cell

Important Key Points:
1.
SUM Function: The
SUM function in Excel is the most commonly used formula for
adding multiple cells or ranges of cells.
2.
Colon (:) Usage: In
B2:B4, the
colon represents a range, indicating all cells from
B2 to
B4 should be included in the summation.
Knowledge Booster:
·
=B2 + B4: This would only add the values in
B2 and
B4, but it does not sum the range
B2, B3, and B4.
·
=ADD(B2:B4) and
=TOTAL(B2:B4): These are incorrect functions in Excel as there are no
ADD or
TOTAL functions for this purpose.
·
SUM Range: The
SUM function can be used to sum larger ranges as well, such as
=SUM(A1:D10), to quickly add values across rows and columns.
