The result is $9.54, the subtotal of the visible values in column F.
Sum with SUBTOTAL
In the worksheet shown above, the goal is to sum the values in column F that are visible. The formula in F4 is: The first argument, function_num, specifies sum as the operation to be performed. SUBTOTAL automatically ignores the 3 rows hidden by the filter and returns $9.54, the subtotal of the visible values in column F. Note that SUBTOTAL always ignores values in rows that are hidden with a filter. If you are hiding rows manually (i.e. right-click > Hide), use this version of the formula instead: Using 109 for the function number tells SUBTOTAL to ignore values in manually hidden rows in addition to those hidden with a filter. To be clear, values in rows that have been hidden with a filter are never included, regardless of function_num. By changing the function number, the SUBTOTAL function can perform many other calculations. See the full list of available function numbers on this page.
