 Adding the Data

Formula
=SUM(Start Row Name: End Row Name)
=SUM(C4:C7)

Formula
ALT then = then ENTER

Formula
When adding selected rows
Suppose we need to add length of cotton, nylon and silk only
=SUM(C19, C21:C22)

Formula (When adding condition) SUMIF Function

Suppose we need to add all length of cloth above 50 meters
=SUMIF(C27:C30,">50")

the sum criteria is ">=50" which means greater than or equal to 50. There are other operators you can
use like "<=50" which is less than or equal to 50. And there's "<>50" which is not equals 50.

Note
 SUM with individual Cell References vs. Ranges
Using a formula like: SUM (A1,A2,A3,B1,B2.B3)
Is equally error prone when inserting or deleting rows within the referenced range for the same
reasons. It’s much better to use individual ranges, like: SUM(A1:A3,B1:B3)
Which will update when adding or deleting rows.

Adding Data from different Sheets (Suppose A1 cell needs to be added)

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet3!A1)

Using 3D Method
Suppose you have single sheet for each month (January -December) and you need to total them on a
summary sheet
=SUM (January:December!A2)
This will sum cell A2 in each sheet from January through December
NB: If your worksheets have spaces in their names like "January sales," then you need to use an
apostrophy when referencing the sheet names in the formula.
=SUM('January Sale:December Sales'! A2)
The 3D method will also work with other functions line AVERAGE, MINIMUM, MAXIMUM, etc.
=AVERAGE(Sheet1:Sheet3!A1)
=Min(Sheet1:Sheet3!A1)
=Max(Sheet1:Sheet3!A1)
 Using COUNT Function
The COUNT function will count cells that contains numbers

COUNTIF only supports a single condition. If you need to apply multiple criteria, use the COUNTIFS function.
If you need to manipulate values in the range argument as part of a logical test, see the SUMPRODUCT and/or FIL
