Subtotal

The first part of creating a Subtotal is sorting the data. Now, you are ready to go to subtotal and make some choices.

 

Try it: Subtotal the Data

Select the entire spreadsheet

Go to Data ->Subtotal

 

At each change: Category.

You just sorted by Category, select Category for the Subtotal so it matches.

 

Use function: Sum.

 

Add the subtotal select: Amount.

In your sample spreadsheet, amount is where the money is. It makes sense to Sum the Amount.

Data -> Subtotal
