Let’s say you have data in a worksheet in various ranges, and you want sum up each range at the bottom.

Something like this:

autosum-multiple-ranges

quick-autosumHow to do all this one shot?

Simple. We use multi-select & ALT=

  1. Select all the cells where you need autosum, one at a time using CTRL+Click
  2. Press ALT=
  3. Done!

See the demo aside.

Do more with CTRL

If you think multi-select is only useful for bulk formattting, think again. Here are few awesome CTRL+Click tricks. (Say that again three times quickly.)

Note: We discussed a similar problem almost 2.5 years ago here – Sporadic totals in Excel.

    Dear Chandoo,

    Thank you very much for this and it is very helpful.
    However, all the Credit Card Statements are now password protected.
    Please advise how can we have a workaround for that

    Hi, Thank you for the great tip. One problem, when I click on get data >> from file, I don't see the PDF source option. How can I add it?
    I tried to add it from Quick Access toolbar >>> Data Tab, but again the PDF option is not listed there.
    I am using Office 365

    Hi, Thank you for your video. I see you used the composite table, but I when I load my pdf, it does not load any composite table. It has 20 tables and 4 pages for one bank statement. I have about 30 bank statements that I want to combine. Your video would work except that I can't get the composite table and each of the tables I do get or the pages does not have all the info. what to do?

    Dear Chandoo,
    How do we select multiple amount of tables/pages in one PDF and repeat the same for rest of the PDF;s in the same folder and then extract that data only on power query.

    Thank you

  7. One bank statement takes up 20 tables and four pages in this document. I need to consolidate roughly thirty different bank statements that I have. Your video would be useful if I could only get the composite table, which I can't for some reason, and each of the tables or pages that I can get is missing some information.
