Why not calculate the total numbers of components required?
Sort the data by the component column.
Replace the sumproduct formula in D7 with...
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B7,$A$1:$D$1,FALSE)),HLOOKUP(B7 ,$A$1:$D$2,2,FALSE)*C7,"")
Fill the formula down.
Use Data | Subtotals to sum the total required for each component.

Column D7:D12 is calculated using the formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$6:$A$9637=A7),($C$6:$C$9637)) to get the total amount of
components(A6) demand to build 1 per each assembly(B6) that is it used in .
However, I need to calculate a weighted average of usage ie (divide total
component usage for all assemblies by total number of assemblies) and weigh
that against the actual 12 month sales demand (a2) for the Parent assembly
(B6). I am stuck on how to merge this information together. Please help
create an extension to the formula in Column D or any advise as to how I can
arrange this information better.

Parent item:
87638436 A1
86636476 B1
86636483 C1
87016080 D1

12mo actual demand for parent item:
100 A2
125 B2
150 C2
350 D2

A6 B6 C6
D6
