macro for sum using combined information from different columns

[aapplegate]

I need to create a macro which allows me to calculate the values from
one column using the criteria from a different column
Column A: will have the name of a person and column B: will have a
number. I need to be able to take all the numbers by each name and
calculate them and then remove duplicate names leaving the total for
each name in a separate column sorted lowest to highest.

You've offered your "solution" ... are you open to other ideas?

For example, a Totals query could GroupBy([ColumnA]) and Sum([ColumnB]).

As for removing duplicate names, how can you tell which "duplicate" has the
correct ColumnB value?

Use the Totals query to sort, as well.

Good luck!
