If you understand your question correctly, this formula should give you the
totals you want...

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A1000="NJ")*D2:D1000)

Just change the "NJ" to the state you want and change the range to cover the
maximum number of rows you think you will need (make sure the A range and
the D range are the same size).
