I have two columns.

Column C is labeled: Group
Column D is Labeled: Weight

I have 27 rows with data. I would like to tally the group weights

example: 5 of the 27 rows are under Group number 630 (the cell in column C
has the value 630). Each one has a weight ...I'd like a total weight for all
items with the group number 630 and so forth. I am guessing this is maybe
some kind of lookup function but have no idea on how to add each room with
the same group number.

Thanks in Advance

Use Subtotals.

Not what I am looking for. I have a separate chart for the groups.

You could use a pivot table, or alternatively a SumIF

For the pivot table just position your cursor anywhere in the data
table and select

Data, Pivot Table, Next, Next, Layout, drag your column C Group into
the row section of the wizard, and the Col D Weights into the Data
section and click OK.


ALternatively get a unique list of the Group Numbers in say column E,
and then in F2 enter

=sumif(C:C,E2,D:D)

and copy down.
