    Calculating information from auto-filtered data.

    Hi,

    I have been having alot of trouble with a spreadsheet and have managed to overcome some huge hurdles until now, and I'm really stuck in a rut.

    If you look at my spreadsheet the main focus is on the Final Results page.

    I currently have the data in one sheet which I then autofilter to find out the percentage rejection :- For example select Grower (Grower9), Product (Lillies Stores), Variety (Orientlstd). This the shortens the list to about 14 items which I then work out by hand.

    What I want to achieve is on the Grower Summary page, to work out the overall percentage of rejection I.E. = (Sum of data matching critera in Row F / Filtered data of Sum of Row E) * 100.

    The next problem I have then is I want to be able to do it quickly / automatically based on the content (It doesn't have to autofilter on this sheet, it's just like that to make my life easier at the moment), so it will work out all of the growers / products / varities and put them onto a seperate summary page for each grower.

    Please see the attached sheet!

    Many thanks for any help you will be saving my life!

    Have a look at Subtotal() function in Excel help..

    It sums, averages, counts etc based on filtered list.

    e.g. =SUBTOTAL(9,'Final results'!F:F)/SUBTOTAL(9,'Final results'!E:E)*100

    will sum filtered lists in column F and E and find your average.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Re: Calculating information from auto-filtered data.

    You sir are a diamond and a scholar!! This has basically allowed me to solve the issue and improve what I was trying to do!

    I now have seperate sheets for each product, with the autofilter set on each sheet to the specific requirements I need, from there it subtotals off and then I link on a final sheet to get the totals, it's a little long winded but works great!

    Such as simple answer and thank you very much!!
