this will sum columns A to J in row 1
=SUM(A1:J1)

this will sum rows 1 to 10 in column A
=SUM(A1:A10)

You'll find a good explanation of the SUM function in the Excel help.

If I understand correctly, this should work.
=SUM(A1:D1)

selecting an empty cell at the bottom of the row or column and pressing
auto-sum button is a nice shortcut

yes to all who reply this is what i have:

Rent Non Food Clothing Utilities Bus Total
$200.00 $40.00 $35.00 0
$25.00 $300.00
row
row
Total Total Total Total
Total Total

with 300.00 the total of that row and to the far right (same row) is
fname,lname (same cell). i wanted to auto sum at the end of row and auto sum
at the end of each column especially the total colum.

Second, if the first cell is fname,lname if I a-z that column how will the
other columns be affected?

Thanks to all you have replied.
