    Having trouble tring to add only specific parts of a group of data

    So, my problem is this. I can't figure out what formula to use to add the data. In Column A I have a Students name, In Column B I have the colour of the marbles, and in C I have the amount of that colour. How do I creat a Sum of all the Specific colours?
    Student Colour Number
    Steve Blue 4
    Red 12
    Green 16
    Dan Blue 8
    Yellow 10
    Red 5
    Tony Green 6
    Yellow 9
    Red 14

    Pivot table for your Colour column and Number column.
    Make your number as SUM, then it will list down all your color and sum value.
