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:
How to do all this one shot?
Simple. We use multi-select & ALT=
- Select all the cells where you need autosum, one at a time using CTRL+Click
- Press ALT=
- 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.

I am not getting sound from the videos. I have checked all the settings and spent several hours searching the Internet to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there anyway to get the Grand Total to be broken out in the same fashion as the items above it? For instance, if you have in column 1, widget a, widget b, and have their sales by month in column 2, I'd like to see the grand total also be by month, for widget a & b combined.
I can't get anything other than a single line for the grand total, rather than the same format as the data above.
Widget A Month Sales
Jan 100
Feb 200
Widget B
Jan 150
Feb 250
Grand total - here I would also like to have Jan, Feb.
Jan 250
Feb 450
