Default Excel Cleaning

You need to have a header row, and you should sort your data by those
sub-categories. Then with your cursor somewhere in the table, click on
Data | Subtotals. Work through the dialogue box to set things how you
want them and click OK.

Hope this helps.

I am using an old dos based program , and exporting data into Excel. Using
Autofilter I am cleaning the rows that I don't need. However I need to add
(Values) for several sub-categories (sub-total). e.g.. I have five lines with
B02A, B02B, B02C, B02D, B02E.. How do I sum these rows. Other Sub-groups will
have similar descriptions with increasing numbers and different line numbers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
