Select cell then click the sum button, looks like a back to front 3 with straight lines and next to the sort buttons then highlight the cells you wish to sum up. Live long and make your kids suffer..

There are a couple of easy ways to do this. First, you could click on the cell where you want the answer. Then, click on the autosum symbol (the sigma on your tool bar). Then highlight the cells you want summed and hit enter.

I would probably just go into the cell I wanted my sum in and type =SUM(E1:E4) or whatever cells you want to sum..
