Subtotals work by identifying changes in the specified column and applying calculations when a new value appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inserting Subtotals<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Subtotal feature in Excel automates the task of calculating sums for grouped data. When you select &#8220;State&#8221; as the grouping column and &#8220;Workshops Attended&#8221; as the column to sum, Excel calculates a subtotal whenever the state changes. The sum is placed in a new row directly below each group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grand Total<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The grand total is automatically generated below all the data and shows the sum of all subtotals. This provides an overview of the total workshops attended across all states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Using subtotals enhances data analysis by breaking down totals into manageable groups.
