LC,

Excel has a great SubTotal function under the Data menu. Check it out.
I think it will do everything that you are looking for.

Once you have your data sorted by pet type, the function will create
subtotal lines per your criteria.

Hi,

I feel like I have confused you before and I would like to
clear some things up.
My previous code was an attempt to do this

Lets say:
A B C D E F G H I J
1 Pets cats 1 23 2 4 23 45 43 23
2 Pets cats 3 4 2 5 67 23 23 23
3 Pets dogs 2 2 3 4 34 23 23 23
4 Pets dogs 4 5 13 4 34 23 23 23

Ok, I would like to insert a new row for the totals of row
1 and 2 and insert another row for the totals of row 3 and
4 and then a new row for totals of all the rows. I have to
use a formula b/c I want the totals to update if the
values were change for cats in either column C to J.

Goal:

A B C D E F G H I J
1 Pets cats 1 23 2 4 23 45 43 23
2 Pets cats 3 4 2 5 67 23 23 23
total for cats...
3 Pets dogs 2 2 3 4 34 23 23 23
4 Pets dogs 4 5 13 4 34 23 23 23
total for dogs
total for Pets

After all this is done, let's say I want to insert a new
row for the total of all cats with white hair within the
rows 1 and 2. Will this mess up the other formulas?

Ok, I hope this clears everything up!
Thank you very much,
LC
