Hi Macklanta,
There are subtotals. Data, Subtotals
normally you can click on the number and that level of subtotals will appear.
Used in combination with Select Visible cells (alt+semi-colon) you can color
and boldface particular totals rows.

Very briefly mentioned on my sumdata.htm page, but you know what you
can search for in HELP and in Google..

I think "Basics of using Subtotals" (video) would describe them well
