SUM(n1,n2,n3...)

• where $n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}...$ are the arguments for which to find the total.

Description

• This function gives the total sum value of given arguments.
• Sum is the operation of adding the sequence of numbers.
• The mathematical symbol for summation is $\sum$
• The numbers are adding together is called addends or summands.
• The summation of infinite sequence of values is called a series.
• The arguments can be $+ve$ or $-ve$.
• We can give any cell references like column or row number, logical values like true or false, an array, or a result from any other functions in Arguments.
• We must give atleast one argument. i.e $n1$ is required, and from $n2,n3...$it is optional.
• The arguments can be up to any number.
• If the arguments is an array or reference, only the constants are considered.
• The arguments are ignored, if

1. It is empty cells
2. It is logical values
3. It is text.

• This function shows error value when the arguments cannot be changed to numbers.

ZOS Section

• The syntax is to calculate SUM is ZOS is $SUM(a,b,...)$
• $a,b,..$ are numbers to be added.
• There are any number of arguments also we can give to find the $SUM$.
• SUM(-20..-10,11..20,30..50)
