To use the SUM shortcut in Excel, simply select the range of cells you want to sum and press the following keys:

  • Windows: Alt + =
  • Mac: Option + Command + =

This will automatically insert the SUM function into the selected cell, with the selected range as the argument. You can then press Enter to display the sum of the selected cells.

Alternatively, you can also use the Autosum button in the Home tab of the ribbon. Simply select the cell below the range you want to sum, click on the Autosum button, and Excel will automatically select the range and insert the SUM function for you.
