The "Sum" function in Word can help us quickly get the sum of a set of data, without manual addition, saving time and energy. So, how to operate word summation? Is there a "sum" feature in Word?
Method 1: Use the "Formula" function.
This method works well for cases where there is already a ** in Word, or where a new ** needs to be inserted. The steps are as follows:
1. Open the word document and find or insert the ** that needs to be summed. Enter or paste the number you want to sum in **.
2. Position the cursor in the cell you want to display the sum, and then right-click, select "Formula". Alternatively, tap the "Layout" tab in the menu bar and then tap the "Formula" button.
3.In the dialog box that pops up, select "sum (above)" to sum the numbers above, or "sum (left)" to sum the numbers on the left. You can also enter the sum range yourself in the formula box, for example, "=sum (a:a5)" means the number in the sum A to A5 cells. Then click "OK".
4. You can see the result of the sum.
Method 2: Use the "Summation" icon.
This method works well for cases where ** already exists in Word and the cells that need to be summed are sequential. The steps are as follows:
1. Open the word document and find the ** that needs to be summed. Enter or paste the number you want to sum in **.
2.Position your cursor in the cell where you want to display the sum, then tap the "Layout" tab in the menu bar, and then tap the "Sum Border" button.
3.In the toolbar that pops up, click the "Sum" icon.
4.You'll be able to see the result of the sum.
Precautions. In the process of summing with word, you need to pay attention to the following points:
The function of word summation is relatively simple, only basic addition operations can be carried out, and complex formula calculations can not be carried out, if more advanced data analysis is required, it is recommended to use professional ** software such as excel.
The result of the word sum may not be automatically updated as the data changes, if you change the number in **, you need to press the F9 key or right-click on the result cell and select "Update Field" to refresh the result.
If the selected range contains non-numeric cells, such as text, blank space or error, then the sum result may be wrong or displayed as "Error!" ”。In this case, you need to check whether the data in ** is correct, or reselect the correct range.
There are two ways to sum Word, one is to use the "Formula" function, and the other is to use the "Sum" icon. Both methods have their own application scenarios and operation steps, and you need to select the appropriate method based on the actual situation. In the process of summing with word, it is also necessary to pay attention to some details, such as the correctness of the data, the update of the results and the selectivity of the range, so as to ensure the accuracy and validity of the summation.
