Hi,
Another simple question from a novice. I'm trying to get subtotals for the table below, both by county and by year. Do I have to run subroutines since my code has already used the '$yr_tot' variable to separate by county/year?

Thanks!
Scott 

Table example:
COUNTY       2001       2002       2003       2004
------     ------     ------     ------     ------
 26005        432        505        547        555
 26021        910        984       1026       1077
 26023        225        282        272        299
 26025        711        796        809        899
 26027        250        319        318        313
 26059        196        221        242        292
 26077       1170       1371       1439       1439
 26149        355        415        346        367
 26159        414        434        504        493
