Usage notes
*Case 1: Sum of two specified columns of a specified table. This is the case if First Column Name or Numeric Value and Second Column Name or Numeric Value both specify a column of Table.
*Case 2: Sum of a specified value and a specified column. This is the case if one of First Column Name or Numeric Value and Second Column Name or Numeric Value specifies a column of Table and the other specifies a numeric value.

Each cell of the returned column contains the result of adding the corresponding row’s cell in First Column Name or Numeric Value to the cell in Second Column Name or Numeric Value.
