I have 200 subtotals in a spread sheet, with varied no. of rows in each
group, how do I sum up the subtotal rows only to get Grand total. Normal SUM
function is only max 30 numbers, fomula is too long in this case.

Maybe you can cheat a little.

If every row of data is included in one subtotal then you can SUM the entire
range and divide that by 2 (You have added each number twice)

=SUM(A1:A100)/2

if you are using the SUBTOTAL Worksheet Function
it does not include subtotals.

The main thing that SUBTOTAL(9, range) is used for
is for filtered lists.
