Creating Simple Addition in Excel
Adding numbers in Excel is one of the most fundamental operations you’ll use in spreadsheets. Here’s how to perform addition step by step:
Open Excel: Launch Excel and open a blank workbook or an existing sheet.
Identify the Cells: Choose the cells for input. For example, use cell A1 for the first number and B1 for the second.
Enter Numbers: Click on cell A1, type the first number (e.g., 10), and press Enter. Do the same for B1, entering the second number (e.g., 20).
Select the Result Cell: Click on the cell where you want the sum to appear (e.g., C1).
Type the Formula: Use the formula bar to type =A1+B1, then press Enter. The sum will appear in C1.
Use the SUM Function (Optional): To add multiple cells, use the formula =SUM(A1:B1). This method is great for summing ranges.
Now, practice using the interactive example below.
