Sum values based on one or more conditions by using the SUMIFS function in a formula.
You can use a simple formula to sum numbers in a range (a group of cells), but the SUM function is easier to use when you’re working with more than a few numbers. For example =SUM(A2:A6) is less likely to have typing errors than =A2+A3+A4+A5+A6. Here’s a formula that uses two cell ranges: =SUM(A2:A4,C2:C3) sums the numbers in ranges A2:A4 ...
The SUM function adds values. You can add individual values, cell references or ranges or a mix of all three. For example: =SUM (A2:A10) Adds the values in cells A2:10. =SUM (A2:A10, C2:C10) Adds the values in cells A2:10, as well as cells C2:C10.
When you need to perform simple arithmetic calculations on several ranges of cells, sum the results, and use criteria to determine which cells to include in the calculations, consider using the SUMPRODUCT function.
If you need to sum a column or row of numbers, let Excel do the math for you. Select a cell next to the numbers you want to sum, select AutoSum on the Home tab, press Enter, and you’re done. When you select AutoSum, Excel automatically enters a formula (that uses the SUM function) to sum the numbers. Here’s an example.
The SUMIFS function, one of the math and trig functions, adds all of its arguments that meet multiple criteria. For example, you would use SUMIFS to sum the number of retailers in the country who (1) reside in a single zip code and (2) whose profits exceed a specific dollar value.
Select the column you want to total, then select an option from the drop-down list. In this case, we applied the SUM function to each column: You'll see that Excel created the following formula: =SUBTOTAL(109,[Midwest]). This is a SUBTOTAL function for SUM, and it is also a Structured Reference formula, which is exclusive to Excel tables.
Calculate a running total in Excel. You can use a running total to watch the values of items in cells add up as you enter new items and values over time. To calculate a running total, use the following procedure. Set up a worksheet like the following example.
Using Power Query, you can aggregate one or more columns of a related table. For example, you can aggregate the sum of order details for each order. Data Preview of the Orders table in the Northwind OData feed

You use the SUMIF function to sum the values in a range that meet criteria that you specify. For example, suppose that in a column that contains numbers, you want to sum only the values that are larger than 5. You can use the following formula: =SUMIF(B2:B25,">5")
