Summing rows that have the same descriptive title

**GRAHAMV2** · 08-10-2012, 05:16 PM

Hi all.
You guys have been so helpful to me in the past that I thought I might try again.
To be honest, I'm not even sure if this is possible.

Basically what I have is a list of HVAC equipment (that is generated from our software) with the type and quantity of filter or belt that belongs to that piece of equipment.

I already have a couple of macros for this sheet that delete extra rows and also sort it by the "Item Description"

Once it is to this point, I need to have a way to sum the quantity of a particular filter or belt.

It may be easier if I show you, so I have attached the document.

Like I said, I am not sure if this is possible, but if it is it would save me tons of time at work!

GRAHAMV2,

What you're looking for is the Sumif() function.
In cell E14 and copied down:

try in e14
=IF(COUNTIF($C$14:C14,C14)=COUNTIF($C$14:$C$500,C14),SUMIF($C$14:$C$500,C14,$D$14:$D$500),"")
will give you the total alongside the last entry for each
