Question

To use AutoSum with a row of four values, where must your cursor be to have the sum appear in the row if you have not highlighted the cells?

Answer 1

Answer:

on the first empty cell to the right of the last cell containing a value.

Explanation:

The AutoSum function in excel gives a shortcut path to taking the sum of numeric values in a row or column of data. The Autosum uses the sum function to take the addition of all the desired rows or columns values without needing to make a manual highlight of the data. To use AutoSum with a row of 4 values, the cursor must be placed immediately at the cell next 4th row cell containing a value. This is equivalent to the first empty cell to the right of the last cell containing a value, then autosum is clicked in the home tab and all 4 cells will be highlighted as it uses the sum function to calculate the sun of the 4 row values.
