2. Easy Data Analysis: Subtotal helps in analyzing data group-wise, such as class-wise marks, products-wise sales, or month-wise expenses.
3. Automatic Grouping: Subtotal automatically inserts subtotal rows whenever the value in the selected group by column changes.
Data Consolidation: Data Consolidation is the process of combining data from multiple worksheets, ranges, or sources into a single worksheet to create a summary or several report.
Example:
If months sales data is stored in :
- January Sheet

- March Sheet
Using Data Consolidation, all months' data can be combined into one summary sheet showing total sales.
