How does one sum only those rows in excel not filtered out?

Question

You need to use the SUBTOTAL function.
The SUBTOTAL function ignores rows that have been excluded by a filter.

The formula would look like this:

=SUBTOTAL(9,B1:B20)

The function number 9, tells it to use the SUM function on the data range B1:B20.

If you are ‘filtering‘ by hiding rows, the function number should be updated to 109.

=SUBTOTAL(109,B1:B20)

The function number 109 is for the SUM function as well, but hidden rows are ignored.
