Sub totals

How do I create sub totals in a data sheet

RE: Sub totals

Hi Julia,

The best way to do this is via the subtotal option. The first thing you need to do it SORT your data based on where you wish to add a sub-total. For example if you had a header "department" and another header "Salary" and you wanted to create a sub-total showing the total salaries by department then you need to sort the data by the header "department". Once you have done this please do the following

> data
> subtotal

You will get a box come up that you need to select the change and the subtotal. I have given you a link below with illustrations that will help you work through this.

I hope that helps?

Thanks
Paul

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
