AutoSum Selected Range

Edgars Kancans

Request for a possibility to AutoSum Selected (highlighted) range, similar to AutoSum in Excel. Example below. Condition - works on numerical cells only.

We have observed that Board Users often export views to excel to run sum on a range of cells that intersect across multiple rows and columns. This becomes particularly difficult with multiple entities on rows, where down totals are activated. Users often have to skip down total rows and apply formulas to sum them and cross-check in excel rather than in Board.

If, for example, Board would show that the sum of these 3 selected cells is 12,159,929,863.34 by simply highlighting them, as in the red box example below - it would save us a lot of time in reconciliation and give a competitive advantage to Board vs other tools.

Excellent, idea. I would suggest, just like in Excel, we should be able to show AVERAGE, SUM, COUNT (and just like Excel, be able to decide what 3 items we want to show)
