2. Type followed by your formula (like =5+8).
3. Press Enter, and the result will appear in the cell.

How to Add Numbers in Excel

Adding numbers in Excel is one of the most common tasks you’ll perform.

If you want to quickly add a few numbers together, you can do this directly in a single cell.

• Type in this formula and press Enter:

• The sum of these numbers, 60, will be displayed in the cell.
