Default How to add values in one column based on values in another column

Hello, my spreadsheet has one column (B) with numbers in it and another
column (C) with text values in it (for example, check, AMEX, Visa). For every
instance of the same value in column C I want to sum the corresponding
numbers in column B. In other words, I want to know the total of all invoices
paid with a check, Visa, etc. Any tips or help with creating this formula
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Try something like this:

=SUMIF(C1:C10,"check",B1:B10)
=SUMIF(C1:C10,"amex",B1:B10)
=SUMIF(C1:C10,"visa",B1:B10)

Hi,

Create a Pivot table. Drag column C to the row area and column B to the
data area.

I think this is what you want:

You may want to consider using a Pivot Table too (or as an alternative):
