How to Subtotal by category in Excel
Generic formula
=SUMIF(color_range,criteria,number_range)
Explanation
If you need to subtotal numbers by color, you can easily do so with the SUMIF function.
In the example shown, the formula in G5 is:
=SUMIF($B$4:$B$11,F5,$D$4:$D$11)
How this formula works
The SUMIF function takes three arguments: range, criteria, and sum_range. In this case, we are using:
Range: $B$4:$B$11 – This is the set of cells to which the criteria (a color from column F in this case) will be applied. This is an absolute reference that won’t change when the formula is copied down.
Criteria: F5 – a relative address that will changed when copied down. This reference simply picks up the criteria from the adjacent cell in column F.
Sum_range: $D$4:$D$11 – This is the set of cells being summed by SUMIF, when the supplied criteria is TRUE. This is an absolute reference that won’t change when the formula is copied down.
