I know that I can use the data/subtotal function to subtotal columns of information. Can i have the subtotal lines placed on a separate worksheet as opposed to grouped at the bottom of each section of data? Thanks

Hi fredlef:
I don't see why not. Below is a simple example where the Subtotal function has been used outside the original table. I guess what you are really doing in such a case is practically emulating the sum function -- unless I am missing something here!

name hours
Joe 40
Joe 42
Joe 46
Cathy 50
Cathy 32
Bob 48
Bob 36
Bob 54


Joe's SUBTOTAL =SUBTOTAL(9,B2:B4) 128
Cathy's SUBTOTAL =SUBTOTAL(9,B3:B4) 82
Bob's SUBTOTAL =SUBTOTAL(9,B7:B9) 138

If your data is on sheet1 and you want your subtotals on sheet2 put the following on sheet2.

=subtotal(9,sheet1!a1:a3)

adjust cells as needed.

You could consider Database function,
Data Filter, or sumproduct.

I added a column for Last Name in case all names not unique and I used Named Ranges for the information. You can use cell addresses if you want.

=SUMPRODUCT((rN1=E3)*(rN2=F3)*(rHrs))

With criteria First Name and Last Name in
E3 and F3 you secure result for 1st person.
Copy the formula down.

If you do not want the Last Name part just delete that part.

Notes:
- data does not have to be sort by name
- the formula will aggregate any number of
amounts that meet the criteria
