Default Can I make hidden cells inactive so formulas ignore their value?

Consider summarizing your data with the SUBTOTAL function. SUBTOTAL can be
applied to ignore hidden values.

I'm using Microsoft office professional edition 2003.

I have one worksheet containing a database of information for which I have
set up a filter in order to view only certain data. In another worksheet, I
have cells which summarize certain data points contained within the database.
When I filter to look at only select data, I would like the summary cell
formulas to count only the filtered data, not the hidden cells. Is there a
way to do this?
