XLExport_Examples_SubtotalFunction

To create a subtotal, call the IXlCell.SetFormula method to add a formula that contains a SUBTOTAL function. To create a formula, use the XlFunc.Subtotal method specifying a summary function as one of the XlSummary enumeration values.

The code snippet below creates SUM subtotals which include values in the hidden rows.

View Example

// Create the grand total row.
using (IXlRow row = sheet.CreateRow()) {
    using (IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
        cell.Value = "Grand Total";
        cell.ApplyFormatting(totalRowFormatting);
        cell.Formatting.Fill = XlFill.SolidFill(XlColor.FromTheme(XlThemeColor.Accent2, 0.6));
    }
    for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
        using (IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell()) {
            // Use the SUBTOTAL function to calculate grand total sales for each quarter and the entire year.  
            cell.SetFormula(XlFunc.Subtotal(XlCellRange.FromLTRB(j + 1, startDataRowForGrandTotal, j + 1, row.RowIndex - 1), XlSummary.Sum, false));
            cell.ApplyFormatting(totalRowFormatting);
        }
    }
