Levels in Subtotals
 

In earlier versions of Excel, I could add levels of subtotals. In 2003, the
additional subtotals come out on the same line. This prevents me from adding
different colors to the different levels of subtotals. Help just shows me
how to Group. That isn't what I need to do.

I'm not sure if I'm reading you correctly, but it sounds like you want to do
a subtotal by something like "years" and then do another subtotal within
"years" for "months".
If I'm on the right track, then when you do the 2nd subtotal, make sure that
you click OFF the tick mark next to "Replace Current Subtotals" - it's down
towards the bottom of the Subtotal dialog box.

I am doing that. What I want to do is subtotal (using Average) on a premium
value for a list of insurance policies by the producer. Then, I want a count
of those policies that produce the average. In older Excel versions, the
count and the average would be displayed on different lines. Now, they are
all on the same line. I used to be able to color the Count in one color and
the Average in another. With them on the same line, I can't do that any
longer.

I see what you want.
I'm in Xl 2002 and it does exactly what you want (as you already know).
Sorry, I can't help with the 2003 version ... I suppose MS would call it an
enhancement :(
Maybe a table using DAverage & DCount instead.
Good Luck.

Yes, 2002 and earlier did it beautifully. Now I am stuck. I am writing a
macro for an agency and when I did the demo on their system, it was just what
they wanted. I just upgraded to 2003 and when I tried this, I was shocked to
see the difference. I wonder who they ask when they make the "enhancements"
to something that works so well. It certainly isn't me.

Thanks for the offer of help.

Scott....

I should have added that I don't know the "d" functions. I am a power user
in my own little world, but that really only makes me smart enough to know my
limits.

Peo....

I agree with your assessment.
