Default Subtotal Function is Inconsistent

Thanks.

Use =SUBTOTAL(9,A1:C1) etc in place of SUM(), this's what it is designed

I'm using =SUBTOTAL(9,A8:IU8) on a large row of cells. This large row of
cells contains many sum functions. On some spreadsheets, the subtotal
only
counts the sum cells. On others, it counts everything. How can I control
this?

Paste the following into cell A1 of a blank spreadsheet. All of the below
should be on the same row.
1 5 6 =SUM(A1:C1) 3 9 2 =SUM(E1:G1) =SUBTOTAL(9,A1:H1)

Shouldn't cell I1 = 26 instead of 52? I know it works sometimes.

Thanks!
