Hi Max,
I tried Pivot table the other day but I was missing something that I didnt
figure out until today. 2007 works a little different. I highighted the two
columns, went to the insert tab, clicked pivot table and ok, then dragged the
prod# to the ROWS field on the bottom right and dragged the product sales to
the VALUES field on the bottom right... BUT that automatically gives a
"count".. it counts how many times the Product number appears in the product
# row, it doesnt sum up the products sold... SO... on the bottom right under
VALUES you click on the drop down arrow and you can change the field settings
from a count to a sum... and that worked perfectly!
Thanks...

A pivot table can get you there in a matter of seconds
Assuming the table posted is in cols A & B,
headers in row1, data from row2 down
Steps (in xl2003)
Select any cell within the data,
click Data PivotTable...
Click NextNext
In step 3 of the wiz, click Layout
Drag n drop "Prod#" within ROW area
Drag n drop "Product sales" within DATA area
(It'll appear as Sum of Product sales)
Click OK Finish. That's it!
Hop over to the pivot in the new sheet to the left,
where it'll show all the "Prod#"'s in the left col,
with corresponding Sum of Product sales next to it.

I have two columns of information: Column A has a number that represents a
product and Column B shows how many times that product was sold. I combined
the data from multiple worksheets so the product numbers repeat:
Prod# Product sales
610 3
611 1
612 5
612 1
612 3
613 5
613 1
613 2
614 1
614 4
614 1
622 1
622 3
622 2
623 2
623 12
623 2
624 2
How do I combine the product numbers in Column A to give me the total
products sold in Column B. Ex: Product#623 was sold twice today from one
website, 12 times from another website, and twice from yet another website
yielding 16 sales for product #623.
My list contains 30,000 numbers and Im looking for it not to sum up the
product numbers, just yield one sum for each product number. Help please!!!
