Default Add column only if row header is an exact match.

Hi, I'm trying to create a spreadsheet which quantifies rectifications needed
in a number of different ctagories. There are 5 different products which all
have the same type of rectification. The 1st column details the type of
product, then there are a number of columns where the number of faults found
(if any) in each different catagory are specified.
What I want to do is have a sum at the bottom of each column for each
product, but for user friendliness (I don't enter the data) I want all the
products to be entered in a random order on the same worksheet. How can I
achieve this?

Product Fault 1 Fault 2 Fault 3 Fault 4
Type 1 1 2
Type 2 1 1
Type 1 1 1
Type 3 1 2
Type 2 1 2

Totals
Type 1 0 1 1 3
Type 2 2 1 0 2
Type 3 0 1 2 0

So that in the simple example above I want a formula to give the totals for
each product type. I hope someone can help!!
Btw, i did work out how to do it by adding extra columns for each fault type
then using the 'IF' function and hiding the columns, but ran out of worksheet
space (there are over 100 different fault types that could occur).
