Default Excel or database program calculation?

I posted this question earlier, but perhaps I didn't describe it properly. I
have 3 columns of data. Width, Height & Quantity (example: 45 30 13). I also
have about 500 rows of records that consist of about 50 different size
combinations. I need a total number of pieces for each size. I can go through
the 500 rows and list all the sizes, then do a calculation to give me the
total. However, it takes a very long time to go through the 500 rows. Can
Excel somehow search and find all the size combinations and list them at the
beginning or end of the table with the total of each size? Or do I need to do
this in Access or Filemaker? Thanks to all who previously tried to help me
with this problem.


This would be one output from a pivot table that I suggested earlier; using
about 150 rows of "made-up" data. But you can format the output in a variety
of ways.


Width Height Total
15 20 162
30 143
40 75
50 103
15 Total 483

25 20 129
30 94
40 116
50 116
25 Total 455

35 20 83
30 59
40 155
50 103
35 Total 400

45 20 127
30 87
40 72
50 122
45 Total 408

Grand Total 1746
