Introduction: General Questions and Problems from the Audience

Puzzler:  Reprise:   When I use Autofilter a table, I want my totals to sum on only the rows that pass the filter, i.e. the visible rows.   
 This is actually harder than you would think.   A typical SUM() will include values from the hidden rows.   
There are several work-arounds, but I know only one way to do it in place and it requires a simple User Function.   Other solutions are welcome.   

Also:  the First of a Series to introduce User Defined Functions and how they can be use to simplify large formulas.    
See Example.

The Application this month is to take a table of stock data, create some calculated columns, then plot the calculations on a A Bubble Chart.   Use data to size the bubbles.   Then use a provided VBA subroutine to make the label of each Bubble be the Stock SYMBOL for easy identification of each point.     See Example below

Preliminary Notes for the Presentation:  (Word 97, 57 KB, not compressed).

Picture of the end product.   The Bubbles are labeled by a live formula to the data sheet.   With this method, the Label and the X,Y, Size of each bubble are always consistent.
