I would like to do the following calculation which I think should be done
with the vlookup function, but it may be another function.

I have a table containing 3 columns. Column A list the category (Clothing,
food etc.). Column B lists the item within the category (from Column A).
Column C lists the price of the item in column B. I would like to list on a
new table (on a different worksheet) all the categories (from the 1st table
in column A) on column A of the new table. I would like to have a formula in
column B of the new table totaling the price of all the items (from the 1st
table, column B) belonging to the category listed on column A of this row (in
the new table).
