Suppose one hundred stores participated in the fund-raiser for one year. What would be the most efficient way to calculate totals and store averages by month?

Use the spreadsheet’s SUM and AVERAGE functions on each month’s range of cells. These functions quickly calculate totals and store averages for all 100 stores, and they update automatically if values change. Manually calculating would take longer and be more prone to errors.
