To add a total row to a table in Excel using the ALT + H + T shortcut, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select any cell within the table.
  2. Press the following keys together: ALT + H + T. This will open the Design tab of the Table Tools.
  3. Select the checkbox next to 'Total Row' under the 'Table Style Options' section. This will add a new row to the bottom of the table with the label 'Total'.
  4. Click on any cell within the total row and select the function you want to use from the drop-down list in the formula bar, such as SUM, AVERAGE, or COUNT.
  5. Press Enter to calculate the total and apply the function to the selected column.

By default, Excel will use the SUM function for numeric columns and the COUNT function for non-numeric columns, but you can choose a different function from the drop-down list if needed.
