I'm trying to get the top ten ranking locations based on the sum of
the sales. The real list is 1000s of entries so here is an example of
what it looks like:

Location # Sales
1 10
2 20
2 10
2 30
3 50
4 200
4 10
5 20
6 10
6 100
6 20
7 10

The end result would look like this:
4 210
6 130
2 60
3 50
5 20
1 10
7 10

How do I do this in a systematic way with a formula? Thanks for your
help in advance.

One way

The assumes your locations in Column A
sales in column B

Put another list of locations somewhere, in this case I used column C
starting in C1 then this formula in D1

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$12=C1)*($B$1:$B$12))

Drag down to the same length as column C The select columns C & D and sort
on D descending
