Question

Grace would like to calculate a field in a Word table and add up values from a list of regional sales data.

Which function should she use?
AVERAGE
MAXIMUM
SUM
OF

Answer 1

Grace should use the SUM function in order to add the values from a list of regional sales data.

SUM

Step-by-step explanation:

The average function would have returned the average of the list of regional sales data. The average is calculated by dividing the sum of all entries by the total number of entries.

The maximum function would have returned the maximum value from the list of regional sales data.

The IF function is used to return a result based on some comparison. Grace cannot use IF function as she is not making any decision based on some comparison.

Answer 2

She should use SUM() function

Step-by-step explanation:

The SUM() function will take multiple numeric values as input and return their sum.

There is also Auto-sum option.

Syntax:

=SUM (number_1, number_2, number_3, ...number_n)

Example:

=SUM(A1,A2,A3,A4)
