Calc Sub total (or Grand tot) of a column of unknown length

[ElBombay]

Hi,

I'm trying to load the CSV version of a monthly report and insert SUBTOTALS and a Grand Total in palces that will obviously change each month. The Data Import and removal of unneeded headers work fine but for now I'm adding the SUBTOTAL() function manually. The module below adds the single and double lines when I comment out the "ActiveCell.Value =" but crashes when I remove the comment-mark. I suppose the answer would allow me to insert whatever formula I need (=STR(), =MID(), etc.

As an additional point, I'm wondering if there is a way to read the current column letter and include that in the assignment at run-time. The columns (G and H in this case) won't change but I think it would would be more elegant if they weren't hard-coded. Thanks, as always

    ActiveCell.Value = "=SubTotal(G" & Str(iTopDataRow) & ":G" & _
        Str(ActiveCell.Row - 1) & ")"
    
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
        .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlDouble
        .Weight = xlThick
        .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    End With
    Range("H609").Select
End Sub

Hi,

I was trying to make my question clearer and saw the error. I found the 2nd procedure below (summing()) that was posted by 'Onlyadraftsman' on 8/8/06. I modiifed my code to match his approach (such as using the .Formula object instead of .Value) but still couldn't learn anything from the error msg ("Application-defined or object-defined error"). Then I noticed that I left out the 1st argument (9 for SUMs) needed by the SUBTOTAL function. This time the list helped by forcing me to examine my work. Hope I didn't waste too much of anybody else's time. Thanks
