1 | Component Name | Usage Count |
2 | Button Primary| 15         |
3 | Button Secondary| 10       |
4 | Header       | 5          |
5 | Footer       | 5          |

Formula references cells B2 to B5 to sum usage counts.
Cells B2 to B5 contain the usage counts of components used in the design.
Result
    A            B
1 | Component Name | Usage Count |
2 | Button Primary| 15         |
3 | Button Secondary| 10       |
