Compound subtotals

Blair

New Member
For a column of numbers (which in this case happen to be percentages), how can I obtain subtotals that are compounded; i.e., if I have a subtotal for each new number, how can I make that subtotal be the compounded total? Does an Excel function exist (or some conbination of functions) which will automatically convert a subtotal to a compounded subtotal?
 
Blair

Use the Sub-Total function in the normal way

Then add a helper Column which Sums the Sub-Totals

If you post a sample file we can probably help further
 
Thank you Hui,

In this case, I'm seeking the compounded daily changes.

I don't know how to post an Excel file here, so this is an excerpt/copy:

If you can guide me as to how I can post an Excel worksheet to this space, I will gladly send it.
 
Hi, Blair!


Perhaps you'd want to read the three green sticky posts at this forums main page so as to know the guidelines that will lead to know how this community operates (introducing yourself, posting files, netiquette rules, and so on).

Regards


Give a look at the second green sticky post at this forums main page for uploading guidelines.

If Your data is in A1:E21

In F4 next to the -1.23% in E4 put =F3+E4

Copy down


Is that what you want ?
