Grouping/Sub totalling then VLookup

Hi,
If I do the subtotal/ grouping function on a spreadsheet of data and then I want to transfer the total to a new spreadsheet. I've been trying to use Vlookups but this just takes the first value, not the total I want to transfer. How would I therefore transfer the subtotal value to another spreadsheet?

Thanks

RE: Grouping/Sub totalling then VLookup

Hello Tashi,

You cannot use the vlookup to extract the subtotals, this would require more development. however, send me a sample sheet with what you have done so far and what you want to achieve and i'll have a look to see if there is a non development way of doing this.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark

Excel tip:

Checking if a calculation adheres to Order of Precedence

When writing formulas you must make sure that results will be calculated as you intended.

Excel adheres to the standard order of precedence for calculations. It calculates percentages, exponents, multiplication, and division in this order before calculating addition and subtraction.

For example, =7+5*3 results in an answer of 22, not 36.

To force a calculation to be completed before another calculations, place the section in parentheses: =(7+5)*3 will result in 36.

To check how excel is evaluating a formula, click on the cell and select the 'Tools' menu, select 'Formula Auditing' and click 'Evaluate Formula'

In the dialog box click on 'Evaluate' to watch as each part of the formula is successively calculated.
