Why did nothing appear when I typed SUM?
Short answer. The formula needs an equals sign in front.
What does B2:B6 mean?
Every cell from B2 to B6.
Formulas start with =
| Type | Gives |
|---|---|
| =SUM(B2:B6) | Total |
| =MAX(B2:B6) | Highest |
| =MIN(B2:B6) | Lowest |
Remember
| Start every formula with = |
| B2:B6 means B2 to B6 |
You typed SUM, but no answer appeared. Why? Every formula starts with an equals sign. SUM gives the total. MAX gives the highest. MIN gives the lowest. Two rules. Start with equals. B2 colon B6 means B2 to B6.
