I am working on a fairly large spreadsheet. I have a list of names and their production (sales) over a twelve month period. I want to be able to total the production of each individual (since their names show up multiple times). I dont' want to use the subtotal function because it takes excel a long time to subtotal the entire spreadsheet. Also after subtotaling i will need to sort the information as well and with subtotal i cannot sort without losing the subtotals. Is there a way for me to do this using a macro? Thanks.

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Why would SumProduct not work?

What i would like to do is the following:
Sum the production for each agent so their names are not repeating. After summing I would lke be able to sort by Branch, Agent, or even Metro without losing the sums.

How would you write the sumproduct formula for the above? I am not familiar with Pivot Tables (Please Advise).

Thanks.

I would definitely look into Pivot Tables if I were you. Excel's own help does a much better job of explaining the basics than I could hope to try to do. If you work through Excel's help and experiment with PT's and get stuck, just post back.

I tried the pivot table approach. It did'nt work. I currently have 12,200 rows of information and I believe this was too much info for the Pivot Tables to handle. Any other suggestions. Unless I did it wrong.

How did it not work?

Is Excel throwing up errors or are you not getting the expected result?

I know a pivot table can handle that many rows.
