MS Excel 2003 has a great feature – The QuickSum Calculator – but you have to know where to find it. It is on the Status Bar – that area at the lower right of your screen. Simply select at least two data cells. They can be contiguous or non-contiguous. But remember where to look for the QuickSum CalculatorĀ – it is on the Status Bar.
Want to change the function? It simple! Just right-click on the name of the Function. You can choose Average, Count, Count Numbers, Min or Max – Excel’s most common Functions.
This is a great way to perform an Ad-hoc Query. I recommend that you use this for spreadsheets with Subtotals. Watch this short video lesson to see how this works – and how you can save time!
