    Summing columns in Excel?

    Is there a easy way to sum a column of numbers in excel and ignore hidden rows?

    RE: Summing columns in Excel?

    Take a look at the SUBTOTAL function. It can be set to include/exclude
    hidden rows.

    =SUBTOTAL(109,A1:A100)

    This would total only the visible rows in the range A1:A100.

    HTH,

    RE: Summing columns in Excel?

    I checked out the SUBTOTAL function and it looks like it only ignores hidden
    cells if they have been filtered out. I am not filtering this information,
    just hiding the rows. Exactly how do I set the SUBTOTAL function to exclude
    hidden rows that have not been filtered?

    Thanks,
    Cathy

    You can't. SUBTOTAL only excludes rows hidden by filters.

    You can use an UDF like:

    Function SkipHidden(sRange As Range)
    Application.Volatile
    Dim result
    For Each cell In sRange.Cells
    If Not Rows(cell.Row).Hidden Then
    result = result + cell.Value
    End If
    Next
    SkipHidden = result
    End Function

    Hope this helps,
    Miguel.

    That's strange. SUBTOTAL works fine on Hidden or Filtered Rows for me.

    We are talking about the SUBTOTAL function right? Not the Subtotals command
    found on the Data Menu?

    I just tried the SUBTOTAL function with hidden (not filtered)
    rows, and it definitely included the hidden rows. What version of
    Excel are you using? I'm in 2003.

    xl2003 added those 100 series of parms:

    =SUBTOTAL(109,A1:A100)
    instead of
    =SUBTOTAL(9,A1:A100)

    109 will ignore manually hidden rows.
    9 will not ignore them.

    An easier way, is to highlight the column you want to find the sum for then
    look at the bottom right hand corner of Excel, about a third of the way in,
    there will be the word Sum = and the total of the highlighted cells. This
    does NOT include any hidden rows.

    This word can also be right clicked to change its function to one of 6
    different functions

    Thank you all, you have been very helpful. Unfortunately, I have xl2002, so
    the SUBTOTAL function does not work with hidden rows in this version. Guess
    I'll have to upgrade!
