are you saying that ' VK 1234 RAM 18/07/06 2 ' is all in one cell and if so, which cell would you want the totals to appear in?

just seen your abc bit in that case if you stick this formula in cell d2... =A2& " "&SUMIF(A:A,A2,C:C) this will result in VK 1234 RAM 10 -- johncassell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johncassell's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25016 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=565847 |

okies.....i had worked that one out myself after i posted thankx..... Due to there being more than one sheet with the same item codes etc (for each different site that I record for) how do i stop it listing the duplicates, but only list it once with a total for all? -- rhani111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhani111's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=19940 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=565847 |

Would you rather not use a pivot table for this type of task? This will group all items (no duplicates) with grand totals etc.. -- johncassell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johncassell's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25016 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=565847 |

Is that 'can't use them because I don't think I'm clever enough' or 'can't use them because of some other reason??! :-) Well here's the answer for both: 1. Formula version... cell D2 formula: =IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)1,"",A2) *notice that A1 is absolute i.e it does not change but A2 is not so when you drag it down it will change to $A$1:A3, $A$1:A3 etc.. cell E2 formula: =IF(D2="","",SUMIF(A:A,A2,C:C)) 2. Pivot Table... Make sure there are column headers in cells A1 to C1 Pick a cell where you would like to see the table.. On the menu go to DataPivot Table and PivotChart. click next and then select ranges A to C so in the box it looks something like this: Sheet1!$A:$C click next click layout drag the word in cell A1 into the row box drag the word in cell C1 into the data box that box will say 'count of...' - double click this and select SUM. click OK then finish. Hope this covers everything!!
