Microsoft Excel is an amazing tool but one of its downfalls is the use of cell addresses especially when you are attempting to sum a of numbers; however Microsoft has a really great tool that enables you to incorporate up a series of cells only using the labels around your computer data. In this short article we shall examine the steps you need to follow along with to be able to use Labels to Sum cells in Microsoft Excel.

Let's begin

Step one we need to undertake is always to just produce a new pair of data, therefore open a Microsoft Excel workbook and click Sheet 1, to exhibit you how using brands works. First off we are planning to create the worksheet so in cell A1 I would like you to type - Years, in cell B1 type the word Values and in cell C1 type the word Values1 and in cell D1 type the word Total. These four values we've typed into cell A1, B1, C1, D1 are brands. We are now going to placed into the worksheet three more labels. In cell the value is typed by A2 1999, in cell A3 type the value 2000 and in cell A4 type the value 2001. The last three values joined will in reality become labels but we will change them to labels just a little latter on.

In the residual cells in other words the following values:

B2 - 29 C2 - 32

B3 - 54 C3 - 99

B4 - 62 C4 - 72

Now that we've built an extremely simple spreadsheet and we have a couple of values to work with we have to inform labels to be actually accepted by Microsoft Excel in our treatments in our spreadsheet. We try this by selecting the Options command from the drop down menu first going to the Various Tools menu and then. The Options dialog box will now most probably before you. Just choose the Calculation tab and in the bottom right hand corner you'll see a box that says Accept Labels in Formulas and you need to go through the check box so that it has a tick in it. Then to complete the procedure only click the OK button.

Now we can use labels we devote B1 and C1 to add up the values.

Lets try it out

In cell B5, that will be the Values column I would like one to form the system -

= Sum( Values)

The cell should get back the sum total of 145. Though is that the method looked up the column to where in fact the label was and said everything in this column what you will observe will be added together. We're able to have just typed the next formula as opposed to using labels -

= Sum( B2:B3)

Nevertheless, when I believe you will agree, using brands makes your formulas much clearer to understand and a lot easier to read. Now it's your turn. In the cell C5 produce very same label method for that cell. I'll give a hint to you if you're uncertain -

= Sum( Values1)

How did that go?

Ok, another problem we're likely to visit is using numbers as method labels. Now when we just typed in cell D2 the system -

= Sum( 1999)

So this will not work at all all that might be delivered may be the price 1999. In reality what we need to do is to inform Microsoft Excel that we want the cells in A3, A2 and A4 to be treated as labels. The first step we should do is always to select cells A2,A3 and A4, then go to the Insert menu, choose Name from the drop down menu and then choose the Label command from the expanded menu. The Label Ranges dialog box will now be visible facing you. Whatever you only have to do, to have the cells then press the OKAY button and we chose before understood to be Labels is to press the Add button.

Click once on the cell D2. What we're likely to do now is to enter exactly the same formula I mentioned before and that is -

= Sum( 1999)

By if you have not done so already the way, press the Enter key. The moment you do that you must see that it can add up the values in cells B2 and C2 and you will see the value of 61 in your cell.

Take to making the formulas for one other two cells -

D3 = Sum( 2000)

D4 = Sum( 2001)

Eventually, merely to end our spreadsheet down, we could total all of our total values in cells D2, D3 and D4 by writing the next formula in D4

= Sum( Total)

Using brands in Microsoft Excel is a very clean method of summing your values as it helps to ensure visit mifare cards that you do not miss a address and it makes the remedies a whole lot simpler. As I have seen cases where the blank rows really affected the ability of the application to sort out what was a name and what's not one issue that I do show my students is not to place blank rows in your spreadsheets. By after the design procedure I outlined above you'll realize that you have zero problems in using cells to be summed by Labels in your spreadsheets.
