Explanation

The Subtotal feature automatically calculates summary values for groups of related records.

It is useful for calculating:

  • Sum
  • Average
  • Count
  • Maximum
  • Minimum
  • Product

for grouped data.

Go to:

Data → Outline → Subtotal

Example

Suppose sales data contains multiple cities:

You can calculate a subtotal for each city.
