Hi there!

I'm looking to sum up a unique list. I've attached how i want the data to look.
AkonaTimekeeping2.xls
ABCDE
1ClientBillableClientTotalBillable
2StudentA$10.00StudentA$20.00
3StudentB$30.00StudentB$90.00
4StudentA$10.00StudentC$20.00
5StudentB$50.00
6StudentC$20.00
7StudentB$10.00
Sheet1


I want all the Student A, Student B, etc summed up in a new 'table'. I know i can use a pivot table for this, but if possible i would like to use a formula.

I would also like it dymanic, so that if a Student D, etc was added to COL A then it would automatically add it to the summed table (COl D).
Make any sense?

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
This works for the summing part of my problem.
The part i need now is the addition of more clients that get added to the list. i.e. Student D

My problem is less complex. Thanks.

In fact, yours is a bit more complex if you also want the student names in ascending order. If that's indeed the case, you'll need the revised Method 1 in:

You can also opt for a non-formula method: Pivot Tables for which you can define a dynamic named range.
