Correct option is A
The
SUM function in MS Excel calculates the sum of all the numbers provided as arguments. In the formula =SUM(2+4, 10, 3):
1. The expression 2+4 is calculated first, resulting in
6.
2. The SUM function then adds
6,
10, and
3, which equals
19.
Hence, the cell will display
19.
Important Key Points:
1. The
SUM function can handle individual numbers, cell references, and expressions.
2. Arguments inside the SUM function are evaluated before summing.
3. This formula does not generate an error because all syntax and arguments are valid.
Knowledge Booster:
· If only =2+4 is entered without the SUM function, the result will be
6, not
19.
· The
SUM function is used for adding multiple numbers or ranges efficiently.
· Errors, such as #VALUE!, occur only when invalid data types (e.g., text) are included.
