You can use SUM function to sum up all the entries.

Say your data is in column A from A1 through A1000, then your formula should be =SUM(A1:A1000)

Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:20
ok...where should the sum be?
User
13/04/2018 - 03:20
at bottom or top or anywhere
User
13/04/2018 - 03:21
lets say at the bottom of each column
Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:21
and your sum should be starting from which row?
User
13/04/2018 - 03:22
top row to row 1000
Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:23
ok...you will not get the sum results, because you have entered the amounts as text
Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:23
you will have to enter only number and format them as currency for the sum to work.
Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:24
Sum would require your amount to be numeric and not text
Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:24
So please remove all currency symbols
Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:24
and you can later format the cells as currency
Excelchat Expert

I have done all these cleansing in this sheet and now you can see the totals in row 1001 (the last row)
Excelchat Expert
13/04/2018 - 03:26
Does that solve your query?
