Need help with Auto Filter
 

I have a spreedsheet that is filtered in multiple columns. I am running a
"Subtotal" function to count certian rows when I filter the column. My
question is this. Is there a way to save or freeze the data that the
subtotal function counts in a different cell. In other words I want subtotal
to count everything in a particular column but I want to be able to save that
number somewhere so that when I filter again with another variable I am able
to still view the first subtotal to compare the two. I hope this makes
sense and thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

two ways copy and paste special value
or if you want to leave the cell where it is
select the cell and use F9 to change it to a value

Hi jl-

You might want to take a look in Excel Help re Scenarios and/or Custom Views.
