Question

Insert subtotals, using the Sum function, for each category in the Level field, sorted Largest to Smallest, in range A3:H13. The subtotals should add the values in the Weeks Completed field for each Level category, and then include a grand total.

Answer 1

To insert subtotals in a spreadsheet, sort the data by the Level field, use the Subtotals feature to sum the Weeks Completed field for each category, and add a grand total for all categories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is seeking assistance with using spreadsheet functions, specifically to insert subtotals for each category in the Level field. To do this using a Sum function:

1. First, sort the data by the Level field from Largest to Smallest.
2. Then, use the Subtotals feature (usually found in the Data menu) to add the values in the Weeks Completed field for each Level category.
3. Finally, insert a grand total at the end of the data range to sum up all the values of Weeks Completed.

The result will be a dataset organized by Level, with each category’s total Weeks Completed displayed, and a grand total representing the sum of Weeks Completed for all categories.
