Hi,
I have a spreadsheet with names that repeat in one column and different
numbers in other columns. I would like to group the names so that it only
shows one instance of each name and also performs a total for each row that
contains that name. For example John & Mary may occur 10 times with 10
different payments each, however, I want to only list both John & Mary once
and give me a total of their payments.

Is this possible and if so how can I do it. Thanks very much.

Ty,

Try converting your data to a Pivot Table. You could also write code to
accomplish this.

Try Advanced Filter to filter all the unique records, then use SUMIF function
to sum all the unique names.

You could also select a cell to output to and then choose Data
Consolidate with reference as your table range and row and column
headings and sum all selected.
