To sum a Column in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, you can use the AutoSum, the Status Bar, and even the Sum function to calculate values in one or more columns as explained below.

Adding a new column to either an entire spreadsheet or just a portion is an easy thing to do in Microsoft Excel. Here's how.

If you want to sum columns of data automatically so that the totals show only the sum of visible cells (for example), Excel’s Tables features can do it.
