Substitute formulas
Hello,
I have a doc with almost 1,000 lines of data, I have set up totals (=sum(xxx) running all the way through it. I would like to change this to subtotals, (=Subtotal (9,XXX:XX). So I can subtotal at the bottom of the column without doubling counting my subtotals.
Is there a quick way of doing this?
Can I find replace formulas, or substitute formulas as opposed to going through it one, one by one?
I'm on a mac, excel 2011..
Thanks Emma
RE: Substitute formulas
Hi Emma
Thanks for getting in touch. You should be able to perform a "Find and Replace" action to achieve this.
In Excel 2011, click the triangle in the Search box at the upper right corner of the window. Choose Replace.
In "Find what" put your initial text (your SUM function). In "Replace with" put the new text (your SUBTOTAL function).
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
