What is the difference between cholesterol and total cholesterol values?

What is the formula for determining total cholesterol, and how does this differ (if at all) from a cholesterol value? In other words, is there a cholesterol value independent of total cholesterol, and, if so, is it used as part of the formula for total cholesterol. Thanks.
