if sheet one colum c has tobacco,gas,food, ect. and colum d has totals of day
and there repeated lines like this down the colum. how do I get the sum of
all lines that say tobacco, or gas, or food, ect to auto compute on another
sheet?

Here are 2 ways:

Use a Pivot Table where the layout would be:
ROWS: Category
DATA: Sum of Totals

or a formula like this would do it:

=SUMIF(C1:C100,"food",D1:D100)
returns the total for "food" lines.

Adjust range references to suit your situation.

Does that help?

If you want the items on Sheet1 summarized on Sheet2, then on Sheet2 the
formula would be more like this:

=SUMIF(Sheet1!C1:C100,"food",Sheet1!D1:D100)
returns the total for "food" lines.

and if on Sheet2:
A1: Food
B1: =SUMIF(Sheet1!C1:C100,A1,Sheet1!D1:D100)
returns the total of Food items from Sheet1

It's difficult to figure out what's not working without more details.
Can you post an example of the formula you are trying to use along with any
other pertinent information: sheet names, ranges, etc?
