Excel, how to keep subtotals and total all the time at the botto

Hi,

I want to create a table of data, which I keep updating with new entries with cost.
How do I keep the subtotal and total at the bottom of the data table all the time, even I add a new line between other cost entries and subtotal/total lines?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,
Kuniko

Hi Kuniko

Thanks for getting in touch. Maintaining totals will vary according to the method you are using. If you've used the Subtotals feature in Excel, it will struggle with inserted rows.

If you insert a row in the middle of a table with a regular SUM function, this will work.

Alternatively, use a PivotTable.

I hope this helps, if you provide a little more detail behind your worksheet I can offer more advice.

Kind regards
