      1. hello, I have another doubt in which i was able to add filted numbers but when i open the unfiltered sheet it goes back to sum of all the numbers. please help.
        i filtered the items to make a total of different items but when i change the filter to "all" it changes to sum of all the numbers in the range.

  12. lots of good stuff herein - thanks!

    But, I want to make bold the "sum" product of auto-summing in the bottom bar of the Excel screen (where "sum" is accompanied by "average" and "count").

    Can this be accomplished?

    I'm 85 and even with glasses the sum product is not very visible. Microsoft should change this and make it bold. All octogenarians would give a shout-out if they did.

    To sum the entire row with an indefinite number of columns, supply a whole-row reference to your Excel Sum formula, e.g.:

    =SUM(2:2)

    Please remember that you shouldn't enter that 'Sum of a row' formula in any cell of the same row to avoid creating a circular reference because this would result in a wrong calculation, if any:
