repost: conditional sum?

[Lamb Chop]

I made a mistake and have already cancel the first mail, and I hope this
repost won't annoy people around here. If I did, I am sorry sorry.

Anyway, here is my question:

A1= Apple B1 =12
A2= Orange B2 = 52
A3 = Orange B3= 51
A4=Banana B4=53
A5 =grape B5=43
A6=grape B6 = 6
A7=grape B7 = 88



In the C column I'd like to add the number from B column if A column the
same.

The end result will look like:

C1= 12
C2 = 52+ 51 (as A2 and A3 both are orange so add B2 and B3
together)
C3= "" (leave it blank as C2 already did the job)
C4=53
C5 = 43+6 +88 (as A5, A6 and A7 are all grape, so add B5 to B7
together)
C6 = ""
C7 =""


so the outcome will look like this:

A1= Apple B1 =12 C1=12
A2= Orange B2 = 52 C2=103
A3 = Orange B3= 51 C3=
A4=Banana B4=53 C4=53
A5 =grape B5=43 C5=137
A6=grape B6 = 6 C6=
A7=grape B7 = 88 C7=


Any suggesion?

Thanks

Sorry, Max, I made a mistake and thought the first one had not delivered, so
I tried to cancel the first one. I didn't know the first one was not
cancelled. I apologize for messing up the broad.

Thanks again to your answer, Max.

Don't bother using formula.

You can do this using the subtotal function.
In the Excel Menu, use Data, then Sub-total
(Make sure your list is sorted on the Fruit column.)

Or, and this is a million times more interesting, ...
Get your head into Pivot tables.

Pivot tables can do what you're trying to do.
They are the real XL number crunchers.

Using subtotal

Fruit Qte
Apple 12
Total Apple 12
Banana 53
Total Banana 53
grape 43
grape 88
Total grape 131
grape 6
Total grape 6
Orange 52
Orange 51
Total Orange 103
Total 305



Using Pivot Table
Sum of Qte
Fruit Total
Apple 12
Banana 53
grape 131
grape 6
Orange 103
Total 305

No prob. You're welcome.

You can't cancel or withdraw a post once you send it off.
Just do a reply to it (your own posting) to clarify matters if necessary.
