excel spread sheet sums not showing up

[Guest]

example: I have a sum for the amount of time people worked with clients. it
shows up when all the clients are showing. but if I only show one client,
then no sums show up for that client, only the time worked on any given day,
is there a way to make the sum show up that totals all the time for the
client worked to date?

How is the data organised that you are summing and what formula(s) do you use?

=subtotal(9,j3:j23)
I would like it if i didn'thave to limit it to J23 but it would sum up what
ever was in that column.

But like i said when i sort to one person that one persons sub totals don't
show up at all, only when I have everyones showing up.....

I'm guessing that you used Data|Filter and Data|Subtotals at the same time.

If you filter to hide the details, then =subtotal() will ignore the hidden rows.

Either drop the filter (and use the outlining symbols to the left) or drop the
data|subtotals.

Maybe you can use row 1 to show the subtotals:

=subtotal(x,A3:A###)

kind of formulas.
