    Macro to look for 'similar' duplicates and unique items and list them

    Hello,
    I included a dummy workbook but I need a macro that will look through a text list with associated numerical values and then list the items that have similar entries so that I can more easily sum up the values for the same jobs. For example, in the workbook that's included there is a week 1 cal facility job, a week 2 cal facility job, and so on and I just want to basically filter through the list for entries that have similar words and then list them. I know I could do autofilter or advanced filtering, but I thought maybe a macro would be faster. See wkbk for more understanding. Thnx.

    Hi,

    I modified the workbook so that I could use a filter.
    It should look at the info in Sheet2 and then filter it so that you get the "Description" and Total value for the Description in the sheet called Result.
    Hope this is what you were looking for.
