"Hi, I'm Amar Enhsaihan. I'm going to show you how to use subtotals and totals in Excel. Here in my example I have a receipt at the grocery store. I have apples, butter, eggs and then subtotal. I will just use auto sum function at the menu, tool bar menu, click sum, it sums it up. And I have a formula for tax here and then I want to total it, then I just click sum again. This time, it doesn't know which one is to sum, so I'm just going to specify it for Excel and then click enter, and I have the total. So here is the subtotal, sums everything up and then here's the total, sums just the subtotal and tax. And that's how you create subtotals and totals in Excel. I'm Amar Enhsaihan, thank you for watching."
