1 Laundry $11.48
2 Laundry $9.98
3 Car $2.98
4 Laundry $14.99
5 Garage $19.98
6 Car $8.52
7 Laundry $16.99
8 Stairs $24.97


I would like to count from Column B if Condition in column A is met
(Column A is the name and Column B is the price)

Laundry $53.44
Garage $19.98
Car $11.50
Stairs $24.97

Nevermind I figured it out thanks for the help.

=SUMIF($A$1:$A$8,"Laundry",$B$1:$B$8)
