a total row that will not add up and how to check it

A total row is not a rate; it adds the columns above it. Read its left label first, then add each column yourself and compare.

Short answer

Read the label at the left of the total row to see which columns it sums, then add those columns row by row and compare with the total cell.

Key points

  • Find what the total row sums

    Look at the label on the far left of the total row; only the columns directly above it are added, so leave the rate column out.

  • Keep the rate column out of the sum

    The rate column is a unit price and normally is not summed. If the total cell matches a rate value, suspect a column alignment error first.

  • Add rows yourself and compare

    Working upward from the total row, add each value in the same column; if the sum differs, note which row caused it, often a blank or dash read as zero.

  • Check the total row against the header

    If the total row has more cells than the header has columns, trust the header; the extra cell is usually a note pulled into the table.

Common questions

The total equals one tier's rate, does that mean it is that tier?

No. The total sums the rows above it; matching one rate is coincidence, so read the label on its left.

Where do I look first when the total will not add up?

Check the columns directly above the total row for blanks or dashes, then compare the header column count with the total row.
