• AutoSum is a function in Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs
that automatically enters the appropriate formula or function into your
spreadsheet. For example, if you wanted to add the values of cells A1 though
A5, highlight cells A1 through A5 and click the AutoSum button, as shown
in the picture to the right. Clicking this button after highlighting the cells
creates the formula =SUM(A1:A5) in cell A6 (first cell after last highlighted
cell) and gives you the total of all those cells.
