subtotal - multiple criteria

[mdma]

i have a sheet, which i want to sub total on two levels..

for example, i have a product number, country code, and value. Th
sheet is sorted by product number then country code.

i require totals for the value of the product (which i can acheive b
using the sub total function), but also require a further total fo
upon change in country code with the the product number :

product number country value
1 a 5
1 a 10
*subtotal 15*

1 b 15
*subtotal 15*

Total 1 30

2 c 20
*subtotal 20*

Total 2 2

Sounds like the perfect place to use a Pivot table

Data->Pivot table and Pivot Chart Report...

Offers a variety of sorting and subtotaling options without messing with
your original data

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100=1),--(B2:B100="a"),C2:C100)

You can add another level of subtotals:

Sort the list by Product number and Country
Subtotal the list at change in Product Number
Choose Data>Subtotals again
Select change in Country
Remove the check mark from 'Remove current subtotals'
Click OK

thanks for your replies..

i have over 6000 thousand lines with approx 800 items, so the
sumproduct will not be the easiest method?

I did think of pivot tables, but i have other details on each row which
i still want to see (customer name) - so with the pivot table this will
lose this information and just result in totals.

The re-apply of the subtotals seems easy and more suitable, which i
have tried. This does work, however, where i have an item with more
than one country, the last entry does not "appear" correctly.. I will
get the grand/sub total for the item, and then under this i will get
the country total. Although they are correct, visually it looks
misleading. Are there any steps i can take to correct this?

Again, thanks for your replies

There's information in the following MSKB article:

Multilevel subtotals are in the wrong position in Excel 2002 and in
Excel 2003
