Excel 2016

Lesson – Working with Tables

NOTE When you select any of the eight aggregate functions in the drop-down list, Excel uses the column name as the second argument for the SUBTOTAL function. This structured referencing means that when data is added to the table, it is automatically included in the calculation. You can use any Excel function in the total row by selecting More Functions from the drop-down list to open the Insert Function dialog box. To use structured referencing in these functions instead of ordinary cell references, type the column name enclosed in square brackets. This will ensure that new data added to the table will be included in your calculations automatically. SUBTOTAL is the only function that recalculates its result when you filter a table.
