I have a spreadsheet that contains rows with multiple entries for the same
item. How can I use a filter or a function to combine the values for the
like items in to one row?

Example:
In the same chart, item number 40-011 appears three times with quantities of
5, 3, and 2. How can I filter the data so there is one occurence of 40-011
with a quantity of 10?

Kinda hard to say without a bit more info on wht your source data looks like
but I might be inclined to use a pivot table to combine the data... Data -
Pivot table - Follow the wizard...

Thanks Jim. I will try and describe my source data better. The data looks
like this:

Item Qty
40-001 4
40-011 5
40-028 4
40-011 3
10-012 4
40-011 2

So, as you can see, 40-011 appears in the list three times. How can I
consolidate the data so there is one line item for 40-011 that displays a Qty
of 10?

My actual source data is about 15,000 rows long, so you can see how it would
be tedious to try and find all the occurences of 40-011 and then doing the
math to total them under one line.

I feel like the answer will be something similar to the Advanced Filter under
the Data tab. I want to filter a range of cells, leaving only unique
entries, but I want the values of the deleted entries to be aggregated under
the one remaining unique entry.

See specifically the section of the paper linked to below titled "Evolving
use of SUMPRODUCT"

There's your answer.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A7="40-011"),B2:B7)

Adjuct range to suit.
Note: SUMPRODUCT function does not work if you use a whole columns
