Level 1: Basics Exercise 1 of 50 Free

Total ad spend

A Google Sheets formula exercise from Sheetsdrill. Solve it with a formula bar on a live sheet in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

Six marketing channels and their spend for the month are listed. Click B8, type a formula in the formula bar that adds up all six, press Enter, then choose Check answer.

What this exercise teaches

SUM takes a whole range, so the total updates by itself when any channel changes.

A hint if you get stuck

Every formula starts with =. A range such as B2:B7 means every cell from B2 down to B7.
