<p class="Paragraph">If you want to expand the sample data and actually use it for a budget, you will also want to summarize and print the data in totals and subtotals. This can be done in just a few steps.</p>
<ol class="L1">
<li class="">
<p class="P2">Place the cursor in the database range.</p>
<p class="P2">Specify the desired options for calculating the subtotals. Group subtotals according to "Date" (i.e. calculates a new subtotal for each date), and use the function "Sum" (adds the subtotals) to calculate "Amount."</p>
<p class="Paragraph">As soon as you press Enter or click <span class="T1">OK</span>, the sheet will be grouped according to the subtotals. For every group of entries with an identical date, a subtotal is calculated. The grand total is displayed at the bottom.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Notice the controls to the left of the row headers. They enable you to view which records (rows) have been summarized. If you click on a minus sign, only the row with the results is shown. The easiest way to control the display is with the small digits above the group area. If you click on 1, only the grand total is displayed; 2 reveals the subtotals, and 3 shows all elements.</p>
