Using copy/paste after subtotalling
I often use the Data Subtotals... feature. Then I can click the different
outline levels to view just the calculated subtotalled values (no raw data). However, when I want to copy just the subtotalled data into a new sheet, I can't just select the subtotalled cells as a group, because the hidden rows of raw data come with it as well. Is there an easy way to select just the rows that have subtotals in them? Thank you, Heidi |

Heidi,
Select your subtotals and then Edit|Go To... Click on Special button. In the following screen select Visible Cells only. Then Copy. Also, for similar tasks you can use a Pivot Table. In this case you don't have to bother selecting only visible cells, because the Pivot Table will reside on a separate range. HTH Kostis Vezerides |

Thanks! That looks like just the feature I need. Unfortunately, it seems to
crash my computer every time I try to "paste" afterwards, but that is probably an issue with our weird network installation. I'll see if the PivotTable route is a little more stable. Thanks again!

Also, I'd suggest doing a "paste special" as "value" to be sure you aren't
copying formulas. And I defnitely agree that pivot tables are the way to go--you don't have to worry about sorting the data first like you do with subtotalling... they are much more flexible.
