Adding Qty based on Item
 

One way:

C1: =SUMIF(A:A,A1,B:B)

Copy down as required.

If you only want the first item in a sorted list to show the sum, try

C1: =SUMIF(A:A,A1,B:B)
C2: =IF(A2<A1,SUMIF(A:A,A2,B:B),"")

and copy C2 down as far as necessary.

You may also want to take a look at the Data/Subtotals function.
