Using Multiple Summary Functions: MS Excel

There can sometimes be situations when it is necessary to add more than one summary function to a list. For example, you may want to present both subtotals and averages for the groups within a data list.

To display summary functions follow these steps:

1. Sort the data list on the field or fields by which the data should be grouped.
    
2. Position the active cell within the data list.
    
3. Choose Data | Subtotals.
    
4. The Subtotal dialog box will appear.
    
5. Specify options for the first subtotal.
    
6. Choose OK.
    
7. Choose Data | Subtotals.
    
8. The Subtotal dialog box will appear again.
    
9. Specify options for the second subtotal.
    
10. Deselect Replace current subtotals if necessary.
     
11. Choose OK.

That's all there is to it!
