Adding up tops and bottoms in Excel can be a bit of a challenge, but it's definitely doable! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get it done:

1. First, open up Excel and create a new spreadsheet.
2. Next, enter the data for your tops and bottoms into the spreadsheet. Be sure to include the prices for each item in separate columns.
3. Now it's time to start adding up the totals. In the first empty column, type in "Total Price."
4. In the cell directly below the header for "Total Price," begin by typing in the following formula: =SUM(
5. Now, click on the cell containing the price of the first top item. This will add that cell's address to the formula.
6. :
7. Click on the cell containing the price of the last top item. This will complete the address range for all of the top items' prices.
8. )
9. Hit Enter to calculate the total price for all of the top items.

10. In the cell directly below the one containing the formula for adding up all of the top items' prices, type in "Total Price."

OR

You could also use a shortcut to create this second "Total Price" label by copying and pasting (Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V) what you just typed in Image 2.

Then, double click on the lower right hand corner of that cell until you see a small black square.

Drag that black square down until it reaches the last row of your data.

When you let go, all of those cells should now say "Total Price." See Image 3 below.
