Hi,
quick question on subtotals.

I have a huge list with subtotals and I need to know how I can insert new
subtotal lines.

For example, i have the following lines:
A
A
Subtotal A
C
C
Subtotal C

And I want to insert 3 new lines between A anc C for :
B
B
SubtotalB

I know I could remove subtotals, insert my new lines, and then re-run the
subtotals 'routine' again.. but was just wondering if there's a more elegant
way of inserting my new lines.

If this question has been asked before, just let me know - but just spent 10
min searching the 'archives' and I could't find a similar qustion.

Thanks!

AV

I would remove the subtotals, insert the lines, sort the data if necessary, and
redo the subtotals.

Another suggestion would be to use a pivottable against a dynamic range. So you
could add your data to the bottom of your range and then refresh the pivottable.

Debra Dalgleish explains dynamic range names here:

If you've never used pivottables, here are a few links:

And Debra's own site:

John Walkenbach also has some at:

(look for Tony Gwynn's Hit Database)

MS has some at (xl2000 and xl2002):
