I am trying to figure out a way to sort this information by Description, so that I can compare Rates easily. However as time goes on I will need to add more invoices to this worksheet and will need those items added to the summary also. I am trying to do the summary on another worksheet. Any ideas?

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
It'll be a lot easier if you remove the Sales Tax, Total & blank rows and keep a continuous running summary. You can always SUMIF on Invoice #.

I don't need the tax and total to have anything to do with the summary. Could I just hide those or something when I go to do some type of sorting?

Not really, Excel is going to see those as non-contiguous ranges and won't sort them together.

OK so If I got rid of those rows what would I need to do?

If you get rid of those, then you can sort with no problem.

Is the sheet that you posted your actual customer invoice?

A common equest here is to have an invocie template that can build a record of previous invoices (using VBA).

I can send you a copy if you want.

Yes please send me that so I can take a look at it.

However, regarding my previous question I am trying to do a summary on a separate worksheet. I don't want to just sort them.

Sent it, but first, edit your post and delete your e-mail address. It's not secure in a public forum (read SPAM).

How do you populate the invocie? How do you want to transfer the data to a summary sheet.

What you originally posted looks like a running summary as it is, so I guess that's where I'm a bit confused.

I want to take the individual items, listed under the description heading, and put them on another worksheet sorted by like description. This isn't the complete list of invoices so it looks like there aren't very many duplicates, but in actuality There are like 100 invoices with many like decriptions.

You can use a Pivot Table report. This will give you a fully automatic and dynamically updated summary for comparison.

Place descriptions to rows and rates to columns. The data field should be "Sum of Rate". Since the combination of Description + Rate is unique in each invoice the "Sum of Rate" will give you the rate itself.

If you select the data range A:F for your pivot table, once you add a new invoice to your file and then switch to pivot table and click "Refresh", it will update the report taking into account this invoice.

I sent you an example by mail.

Enjoy.
