Comments on: Sum Visible Rows

Excellent post.

For the other function values,

Column 1: Function_num (includes hidden values)
Column 2 : Function_num (ignores hidden values)
Column 3 : Function

1 101 AVERAGE
2 102 COUNT
3 103 COUNTA
4 104 MAX
5 105 MIN
6 106 PRODUCT
7 107 STDEV
8 108 STDEVP
9 109 SUM
10 110 VAR
11 111 VARP

So, a "9? is a SUM() of all visible and hidden cells in the range and a "109? is a SUM() of only visible cells in the range.

It took me a while to realise that hidden is not the same as filtered. Filtered rows aren't hidden according to MS. Semantics is obviously not a strong point in the MS camp.

But, I very very rarely manually (or programmatically) hide rows, but I filter all the time.

Thanks Dick,

This will work. To sum it up with subtotal and not include hidden rows use a formula like this =SUBTOTAL(109,A2:A5) where 109 tells the subtotal function to sum and ignore hidden rows.

MS reference for the subtotal function http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP100624631033.aspx.

I had this problem with hidden (as distinct from hidden-after-filtering) rows. Microsoft have a solution:

in excel 2202, i entered the following

a1 = subtotal(9,a:a)
a2 = data autofilter
a3 = data
...
...
a99 = data

it worked when i first created it, to automatically
add up the visible data that was filtered by the
autofilter.
now it stopped working and complains about a circular reference. the "subtotal" function is suppose to be smart enough to ignore other subtotals so values are not double counted.
i want the total at the top, so that it is always visible and so that i can add more data at the bottom

anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

And how do we do this in a Macro?
How do I navigate between the visible rows only?

Thanks in advance,
A.
