I need to make a workbook that sorts data

[Guest]

Each month I have to download a spreadsheet containing many columns of
information. When I save it, I normally do so as an excel document, then i
spend time sorting it out for analysis. This is time consuming and i'm
looking for a way of downloading into a spread sheet that automatically sorts
it the way I want it to and deletes unwanted columns and then totals a
particular column.

The information needs to be sorted as follows. The spreadsheet comes up with
a random list containing information on 3 companies. I want it to sort into
company order so,

Company 1
Company3
Company3
Company 2
Compamy 1
Company 2

Becomes

Company 1
Company 1

Company 2
Company 2

Company 3
Company 3

It also needs to total a series of values corresponding the to company.

It does not matter what this spreadsheet looks like so a simpler way could
be for Excel to detect a particular company and total the values
corresponding to the particular company and automatically imput them into a
seperate box.

Can anyone help?

Kind Regards

Barry
