Formula Help
 

I have a spreadsheet that lists various order numbers on multiple rows
with different amounts for that order. I want to create a new "Order
Total" column and create a formula that adds all the amounts for each
order number that is the same. So looking at the table below, order
number 11111 will have a value of 175 (100 + 50 + 25 = 175) in the
Order Total column for each row where the order number is 11111.

I hope I'm clear. It can be difficult to put this stuff into words.

Thanks

You do a pivot table. Under the Data menu

layout should be

Row = Order Number column
Data = Sum of amount column

This will add up all the same Order number and give you the sum of the amount.

Hope that is clear as well! :0)

Sort your range (all the columns!) by the order number column.

Then apply Data|subtotals to that range.

This'll give you a new line with just the subtotals.

If you really want that same total on each of the lines:

=sumif($a$2:$a$99,a2,$b$2:$b$99)
and drag down.

Another alternative would be to use data|pivottable. You can do some very nice
summaries with that tool.

One way is illustrated in the csv file below.

------------------------ cut here ------------------------
Order Number,Amount,Order Total
11111,100,"=SUMIF(A:A,A2,B:B)"
11111,50,"=SUMIF(A:A,A3,B:B)"
22222,25,"=SUMIF(A:A,A4,B:B)"
11111,25,"=SUMIF(A:A,A5,B:B)"
33333,100,"=SUMIF(A:A,A6,B:B)"
22222,250,"=SUMIF(A:A,A7,B:B)"
33333,150,"=SUMIF(A:A,A8,B:B)"
22222,100,"=SUMIF(A:A,A9,B:B)"

Order numbers and amounts in A2 to B100.

Try this in C2:

=SUMIF($A$2:$A$100,A2,$B$2:$B$100)

And copy down to C100.

The sumif worked. Thanks to everyone who responded! btw - in my
specific case, a subtotal or pivot table would not have worked as I
wanted each row in my table of data to have the order total.

Thanks again to everyone.
