Trick to get the sum row wise or column wise

    Row-wise or Column-wise Sum Using a Shortcut: Select the range of numbers in the table that you want to sum (either a column or a row, or even multiple columns or rows). Press the Alt key on your keyboard. After pressing Alt , press the +   = key . This is the AutoSum shortcut. If you're summing a column , Excel will automatically fill the cell directly below the selected range with the sum of that column. If you're summing a row , Excel will automatically fill the cell directly to the right of the selected range with the sum of that row.   The AutoSum feature ( Alt + = ) automatically sums numbers in a contiguous range of cells.

Here are some tips for using Excel formulas:

All formulas start with an equal sign (=)

To refer to a cell, enter the column letter followed by the row number. For example, B2 refers to the cell at the intersection of column B and row 2.

          The formula bar shows the formula you enter in a cell. You can see it whenever that cell is selected.

Here are some basic Excel formulas you can use for common tasks:

1. SUM

Adds a range of numbers.

=SUM(A1:A10)

2. AVERAGE

Calculates the average of a range of numbers.

=AVERAGE(B1:B10)

3. COUNT

Counts the number of cells that contain numbers.

=COUNT(C1:C10)

4. MAX

Finds the maximum value in a range.

=MAX(D1:D10)

5. MIN

Finds the minimum value in a range.

=MIN(E1:E10)

6. IF

Performs a logical test and returns one value for TRUE and another for FALSE.

=IF(F1 > 10, "Yes", "No")

7. CONCATENATE (or &)

Joins two or more strings together.

=CONCATENATE(G1, " ", H1)

=G1 & " " & H1

8. VLOOKUP

Looks up a value in the first column of a table and returns a value in the same row from a specified column.

=VLOOKUP(I1, A1:D10, 2, FALSE)

9. TODAY

Returns the current date.

=TODAY()

10. NOW

Returns the current date and time.

=NOW()

11.  HLOOKUP: Similar to VLOOKUP, but searches for a value in the first row of a table.

=HLOOKUP(A1, A1:F3, 2, FALSE)

12.  INDEX and MATCH: A more flexible alternative to VLOOKUP.

=INDEX(E1:E10, MATCH(A1, D1:D10, 0))

    1. COUNTIF: Counts the number of cells that meet a specified condition.

=COUNTIF(A1:A10, ">50")

    1. SUMIF: Adds the cells that meet a specified condition.

=SUMIF(B1:B10, "Yes", C1:C10)

    1. AVERAGEIF: Calculates the average of cells that meet a specified condition.

=AVERAGEIF(D1:D10, "<100", E1:E10)

 

    1. LEFT: Extracts a specified number of characters from the left side of a string.

=LEFT(A1, 5)

    1. RIGHT: Extracts a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.

=RIGHT(A1, 3)

    1. MID: Extracts a specified number of characters from the middle of a string.

=MID(A1, 2, 3)

    1. TRIM: Removes extra spaces from a string

=TRIM(A1)

    1. LEN: Returns the number of characters in a string.

=LEN(A1)
