Formula needed.

[Guest]

A B
1 car 90
2 boat 20
3 airp 22
4 car 10
5 boat 25

I'm needing a formula that will add numbers in B related to the item in A .
Let's say a result for car = 100 ( 90+10) at the bottom on B6.
These are just 5 rows but I have around 150, however if you kindly provide me
with a formula for those 5, I can adjust it. THANKS in advance.

Using your example:

This formula returns the values associated with "Car":
B6: =SUMIF($A$1:$A$5,"Car",$B$1:$B$5)

Or...for more flexibility:
A6: Car
B6: =SUMIF($A$1:$A$5,A6,$B$1:$B$5)

Change range references to suit your situation.

Is that something you can work with?

=SUMIF(A1:A5,"car",B1:B5)

That is exactly my needed formula. Thanks a lot Mike, appreciated.

Here's one:

=100*SUMIF(A1:A5,"car",B1:B5)

You could put "car" into another cell, eg A6, then the formula could
become:

=100*SUMIF(A$1:A$5,A6,B$1:B$5)

I've made the row references absolute, so that you could put, say,
"boat" in A7 and copy the formula into B7 etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ron, keep the good work.

In addition to the SUMIF formula others have recommended, you might consider
using a Pivot Table (see the Data menu).

Using your data, I get this as a result:

Item Sum of Items
airp 22
boat 45
car 100
Grand Total 167

but it can be formatted in a variety of ways.
