Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Then you need to name them that way:

sheet01
sheet02
sheet03
sheet10
sheet99

sheet001
sheet101
sheet358

If this is a sort you use often, you might consider creating a custom sort list. See help file for info.
