Do you know that SUM Function is not limited to a single sheet and can be used across multiple tabs? Amazing, isn’t it? For today’s Excel tutorial, I will be showing you 2 methods to calculate it. Without further ado, let us get started.


How to use SUM Function Across Multiple Tabs


In our example, we are task to sum up the total sales for our new flagship phones: Iphone 13, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Flip 3, Google Pixel 6, Huawei P50 in the North, South, East and West Area for 2021. We are given the total sales from January to December to find out the total sales.


In the first method, we will be adding the sum through the individual cell. Select Cell C4, type in equal, SUM, open parentheses. Move your cursor and select on Jan tab, select on Cell C4 and type in the “plus” symbol. Repeat the same step from February to December. Once you complete the step for December. Hit return. You will get the total sum of the north area Iphone 13 sales from January to December, which is $643,113. Let us do a quick auto-fill for the remaining cells. Lastly, we will do the SUM function to find the total sales for each and the total area.


In the second method, we will be using the ranges from January to December, instead of sum through individual cells. Select Cell C13, type in equal, SUM, open parentheses. Type in Jan, colon, Dec, exclamation mark and C4. Close parentheses and hit return. You will get $643,113, the same value as our previous example. Lastly, let's auto-fill and sum up the remaining cells.
