I didn't look at the other thread, but if your data is numeric and exactly one
entry per column (per item), you could add column headers (new row 1) and use
Data|Pivottable (in xl2003 menus).
Use "Sum of" for each of the fields.
Saved from a previous post:
Make sure your data has a header row.
Say your data is in A1

999
Select your data (a1

999)
Data|Pivottable (in xl2003 menus)
Follow the wizard until you get to the step with the Layout button on it.
Click the Layout button
Drag the header for the item to the row field
drag the header for the first number to the row field
drag the header for the 2nd number to the data field
etc...
If the amount says "count of", double click on it and change it to "sum of".
Finish up the wizard.
You'll have a nice summary table.
If you've never used pivottables, here are a few links:
