Excel's total does not match the rows visible after filtering

Decide whether the total should include all records or only the filtered view. Use an aggregation designed for that intention rather than assuming hidden rows are excluded.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Decide whether the total should include all records or only the filtered view. Use an aggregation designed for that intention rather than assuming hidden rows are excluded.

Understand the issue

Compare a small table with a manually checked total. Filtered rows and manually hidden rows can be treated differently by SUBTOTAL depending on the selected function number. Keep a label beside the total explaining what it represents.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Identify whether rows are filtered or manually hidden.
  2. Inspect the total formula and its intended inclusion rule.
  3. Test the formula against a small known selection.
