Default Excel newbie needs chart help


I have a spreadsheet that includes two columns that I want to turn into
a barchart. One column contains numbers, and the other column contains
string 'categories', so for e.g. column 1 contains 2,6,1,7,4,5 and
column 2 contains A,B,A,C,A,B. I want the barchart to plot the total
amount for each category, so it in this example it would have 3 bars,
one each for A, B, and C, with corresponding values of: 7, 11, and 7.


Sorry for being thick but I can't work out from the Excel help how to
do this, and would really appreciate any pointers on how to do this.

Thanks,
Z.
