Sum a group of numbers

[Barbie Da]

When I first started using Excel, if I had a bunch of different totals on a
worksheet, I could hold down the right mouse button and cover the group I
wanted to add. The sum of these numbers would appear on the bottom of either
the worksheet or a task bar. I have lost the ability to do this. Or I have
lost the task bar. How do I get it back?

Hi Barbie,

That would be the status bar. If it is not showing, go to View>Status Bar
to turn it on. If the sum function is still not showing, right click
anywhere
on the status bar and select which option you want.
