SUBTOTAL Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Calculating aggregates (sum, average, etc.) while ignoring filtered rows
Understanding the SUBTOTAL Formula
The SUBTOTAL function in Excel performs aggregate calculations (like sum, average, count) on a range, smartly ignoring rows hidden by filters. It’s a dynamic tool for data analysis, adapting to visible data in tables or lists.
SUBTOTAL(9, A1:A10) sums A1:A10, with 9 indicating SUM, skipping filtered-out values. It uses a function number (1-11 or 101-111) and a range, offering versatility—101-111 versions also ignore manually hidden rows.
Why Use SUBTOTAL?
SUBTOTAL shines in filtered datasets—think sales reports or inventory totals. Its filter-awareness and multi-function capability (sum, avg, etc.) make it a flexible choice for responsive summaries.
Example with Sample Data
Range, Function | Formula | Result |
---|---|---|
1,2,3,4 (Sum) | =SUBTOTAL(9, A1:A4) | 10 |
1,2,3,4 (Avg) | =SUBTOTAL(1, A1:A4) | 2.5 |
5,6,7 (Count) | =SUBTOTAL(2, A1:A3) | 3 |
SUBTOTAL adapts: sums to 10, averages to 2.5. It’s a filter-friendly aggregator.
