Remove subtotals problem


Posted by A.R. on January 30, 2002 7:14 AM

I receive worksheets that include subtotal data. I have to copy this data to another worksheet showing all the data lined up without the subtotals and blank rows. The "Subtotal-Romove All" feature works for some worksheets but not for all of them. Why won't the "Subtotal-Romove All" feature remove subtotals from some worksheets? Any advise, tips? Otherwise I would have to manually delete the subtotals one by one.

When you pasted onto your other worksheet did
you use Paste | Special... Values? If so, you
replaced the SUBTOTAL worksheet functions with
their resultant values. Without these functions
the SUBTOTAL facility won't recognize this list
as having subtotals.

That problem arises, I believe, when the subtotal area is not *obvious* for Excel.

No, I do a "Subtotal-Remove All" feature on the original worksheet and then do a Copy-Paste-Special to a new worksheet.

Is it possible that someone performed a
Copy/Paste Special... Values on the "original"
worksheet(s)? Do the listings that you can't
remove subtotals have any formulas?

I don’t know if they include Subtotal functions. How do I find out? : Yes, the listings that I can't remove subtotals do have formulas.

Select the cells that contain subtotal values
and look at the formula bar. Does the formula
bar look like =SUBTOTAL(... ? I don’t know if they include Subtotal functions. How do I find out?

1. How do you claculate two business days from another date, and excluding holidays?
2. Also, how do you subtract one date from another and show the anwer in number form and in business days,and excluding holidays?
Example 1: Date Sent = 1/18/02 and Expected Received Date = +2 business days/exclude holiday = 1/24/02.
Example 2: Date Received 1/24/02 - Date Sent 1/18/02 = 2.

Ignore message above-Re: Do they include SUBTOTAL functions? [nt]


No, there is no =SUBTOTAL(…) in the formula bar. This explains why the Subtotal-Remove All feature will not work. The worksheets where the Subtotal-Remove All" feature does work does have the =SUBTOTAL(…) in the formula bar. I guess the only way to remove the subtotals is by deleting the subtotals amount manually one by one. Too bad because the Subtotal-Remove All feature only takes seconds. You have been very helpful, thank you.
