You'll actually learn much more than six ways to sum in this presentation. Watch as Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, goes well beyond the SUM function to help you improve the resilience and integrity of your spreadsheets. You'll take summing to new levels with the SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions, while you master using SUMIF and SUMIFS to add up values based on up to 127 criteria. David also will discuss the SUMPRODUCT function for multiplying and adding values at once.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He’ll draw to your attention any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
