Chapter 6 Using Formulas in Tables 11 9
=SUM(A2:A10): A formula that uses the function SUM to add the values in a range
of cells (nine cells in the rst column).
A2:A10: A cell reference that refers to the values in cells A2 through A10.

Instantly display the sum, average, minimum
value, maximum value, and count of values in
selected cells and optionally save the formula
used to derive these values
