What is Subtotal?

Subtotal is a feature in LibreOffice Calc used to automatically calculate partial totals(such as Sum, Average, Count, etc.). for a group of data. It works best when the data is sorted.

Why Subtotal is used?

  • To summarize large data easily
  • To calculate group wise totals
  • To avoid manual calculations
  • To generate reports quickly
Steps to Calculate Subtotals
  1. Select the entire data range
  2. Go to Data- Subtotals
  3. In the Subtotals dialog box, specify: Group by- Column where data changes(eg.TYPE)
          Calculate subtotals for- Numeric column (e.g. QUANTITY)
          Use function(Sum, Count, Average, Max, Min, Product) Default function is SUM.

Advantages of Subtotal:
1. Saves Time: Subtotal automatically calculates totals, averages, counts, etc. for each group of data. This reduces the need for manual calculations and saves a lot of time.
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
  • February sheet
  • March Sheet
Using Data Consolidation, all months' data can be combined into one summary sheet showing total sales.
Advantages of Data Consolidation 
1. Saves time: Data from different worksheets or files can be combined automatically.
2. Easy Data Analysis : By consolidating data into one worksheet, it becomes easier to analyze and compare information from different sources.
3. Reduce errors: Manual data entry can cause mistakes. Data consolidation reduces human errors by performing automatic calculations.
4. Provides a Single Summary Report: All related data is shown in one place, creating a clear and organized summary report.

Steps of Data Consolidation in LibreOffice Calc:
Step1: Prepare the data
