Default Why use Subtotals 1-11 instead of the built-in functions directly?

Subtotals will ignore rows that have been filtered via
DataFilterAutofilter

Why do you need a spreadsheet? This is a **general** question to

understand
a theory/concept. I have already cited my understanding below. I am

asking
for examples as to why I want to use one method over the other. Anyone

else
who understands what I am asking, please feel free to contribute.

Thanks.

But, I don't see why I want to use Subtotals 1-11, instead of using

the
built-in functions like average, count, max etc. directly.

I do understand that if I use DataSubtotals, I can later modify the
Subtotals function which may have 1-11.

Please enlighten me. Why would I choose Subtotals 1-11 over a more

direct
method? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks.
