Here is my problem. I have a file that is a combination of data from other files. I have that set up just fine. I have names in the first column and data in the second through the eight. What I need to do is find a way to sort by the name as there will be multipe line with the same name in the first column and then add all the data in the other columns together. It looks something like thi

John 3 4 5
John 2 8 5
Mary 3 5 8
Paul 4 6 7
Mary 2 7 9

It needs to condense down so that I would just have three names ie. John, Mary, and Paul and the data in the other columns would be added up for that name ie.

John 5 12 10 1
Mary 5 12 17
Paul 4 6 7

This data is about 1500 rows long so doing it by hand will be a difficult task. If anybody has any ideas it would be geatly appreciated. I know only the basics of recording macros, and I have no idea how else to do it

Thanks
