Say we use cell A1 and we want A1 to reflect the sum of the selected cells.
Insert the following worksheet event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("A1").Value = Application.Sum(Target)
End Sub
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:
1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

When I select a range of cells on my sheet I see the SUM in the status bar.
Is there any way to transfer that sum into my spreadsheet (eg Paste) rather
than writing a formula explicitly?
Thanks
