If you want to add a column of data together, you should find the __________.

mean? im so confused

Use the Sigma symbol -- Σ -- somewhere in the top toolbar of Excel.

I think "sum" is the word. Writeacher is right, the sigma symbol means sum.

To add a column of data together, you should find the sum of the values in the column. The mean, also known as the average, refers to the sum of a set of values divided by the number of values in that set. However, if your goal is to simply add the values in the column, you would find the sum, not the mean. Here's how you can find the sum of a column of data:

1. Identify the column of data you want to add together.
2. Write down or mentally note each value in the column.
3. Add up all the values to find the sum. You can do this by manually adding the numbers together or by using a calculator or spreadsheet program.
4. The result is the total sum of the values in the column.

Remember, if you need to find the average of the values in a column, you would divide the sum by the number of values in the column.
