Quickly Add a Range of Numbers

Instead of typing something like  =sum(c3:c9), do this:

1. Click once into the cell where you want the results
2. Click the AutoSum Icon on the toolbar (looks like an E)
3. Disregard the cell with the blinking lines
4. Choose the range of cells you want to add up (click and select)
5. Hit the Enter key
