Ideally we're just narrowing away lines, collapsing a table like org collapses headlines. Why would that be more likely to cause data loss? >> A nice feature would be updating the totals at the bottom with only >> the visible data. > > I don't think Excel works like this, does it? Absolutely. Excel 2003 and up support "lists" or in 2007 "tables", where you can do filter and summary work. I use it all the time for customer planning because its the closest thing to grep/awk for Windows. I think the real trick here is making the formulas ignore narrowed content. If you'd like I can send you a sample.
