Default Subtotals

How many lines of data are you dealing with? Over about 10,000 and you are in
for a wait. Subtotaling is very slow (Data - SubTotal). Your system will
appear to get stuck when removing (or adding). In your task amanager it will
show not responding, but your CPU usage will be at the max. Go grab a coffee
and wait. A better solution to that many lines of data is a pivot table which
is incredibly much faster.

Greetings all,

I am having trouble removing subtotals from spreadsheets. Regardless of how
many or how few line items and/or groups, Excel all but shuts down when I try
to remove subtotals. Any help?

Thanks,
