I get #VALUE trying:
Code:
=SUM(C2:C100)+(D2:D100)+(E2:E100)
and
Code:
=SUM(C2:C100+D2:D100+E2:E100)

Can someone give me the correct syntax? It would also be cool to not have to give it an ending cell in the range from row 2 because it could be 80, 100, 150, 200 and the like.

Thanks very much for your assistance!
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
You might be looking for =SUM(C2:C100,D2:D100,E2:E100) or =SUM(C2:E100)

To add all rows below and including row 2:
=SUM(C:E)-SUM(C1:E1)

Ahh, simple is always best. I like the logic for including all too and again, simple and sweet.

My Sister-in-law and Nephew were Aggie's, and I spent many years in Sacraficialmento - met my wife of 30 years there too. We still visit from time to time but I don't miss the hot summers.

Thanks!
