- There is a button with a sigma sign on it on the button bar. If you
- press that button while the active cell is immediately under a column of
- non-empty cells, it inserts the SUM function into the active cell and
- correctly selects the cells above it as the range to be summed up. Of
- course, you can then edit that range if it's not exactly the one you
- want. Or, alternatively, you can directly type in the SUM function,
- naturally.
