How to quickly insert subtotals in Excel?
If you're working with extensive data sets, you might find it useful to insert subtotal formulas and grand totals for one or more columns to extract valuable insights. Excel's Subtotal function allows for easy additions of calculations like SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, and MAX. However, it primarily caters to categorizing data and does not automatically place subtotals at the bottom of each printed page. This guide will cover how to efficiently apply both types of subtotaling to enhance your data analysis, regardless of the layout.
