tried posting a similar question on the newuser forum but since more people seem to view here thought it'd be worth trying to post here.
i have a large worksheet with hundreds of names and then months of the year. there are no blank lines. what i want to do is total the figures (some cells are blank) under each month after each name. a name can appear once or many times.
ideally what i want to do is at the change of a name insert 2 blank lines and use one line to total the figures for that name then have one as a separator. it was suggested i use subtotal function but i can't see how i can use it to add in blank lines, nor get it to calculate for each month for each name without manually typing in (or copying) a formula in thousands of cells.
i was hoping there was a way to say on change of name calculate totals using numbers between last blank line and now. maybe an example would be more obvious:
worksheet currently:
name m1 m2 m3
aaaa 03 01
bbbb 01 01 02
bbbb 01 02 01
desired result:
name m1 m2 m3
aaaa 03 01
total 03 01
bbbb 01 01 02
bbbb 01 02 01
total 02 03 03
suggestions appreciated,
alison.
