I am new to Excel, I have a "for dummies" book but what I need, I have not a
clue where to look. I have Excel 2007, OS XP.

I have 1000 plus rows of info the columns are titled
A B C D
Amount Name State Code
$50.00 Nancy IL Telemarketing
$75.00 Kim FL Acquisition
$25.00 Isabel TX Telemarketing
$15.00 Santos IN Acquisition

I want to get the sum of column A (dollar amount total) by code
(telemarketing or acquisition), is there a way to do that, and if there is,
what is it called?

I appreciate any help, either how to do this or what it is called so I can
figure out what to look under.
