How to Sum Only Visible Cells in Excel

Understanding Visible Cell Summation

In Excel, users often need to sum filtered data, but the default SUM function includes all cells, including hidden ones. To sum only visible cells, you can use the SUBTOTAL function or AGGREGATE function, which dynamically ignores hidden rows.

  • Use the SUBTOTAL function: =SUBTOTAL(109, A2:A100) to sum visible cells.
  • Utilize AGGREGATE for advanced options: =AGGREGATE(9, 5, A2:A100).
  • Combine SUMPRODUCT and SUBTOTAL for conditional summation.
  • Enhance user experience by organizing data as an Excel table.
