Toggle an Excel Table Total Row
Create a Table with headers Region and Revenue and four revenue values: 26, 18, 31 and 25. Leave the Total Row off and select a revenue data cell.
Start here: A data cell inside an actual Excel Table; Total Row initially hidden
This is a Table command. A range that only looks like a table is not sufficient. Filtered rows can change SUBTOTAL results; start with no filters.
Follow these instructions in your own desktop Excel workbook. This page explains the operation; it does not send commands to Excel.

Instruction 1 of 4: Select a cell inside the Table, outside any formula editor.
Expected result: The four input rows remain intact. The Total Row can be hidden and shown; its Revenue sum is 100 when Sum is selected.
