[princeninan]

Hello excel experts,

I have a list of items in one table and give category for each item. Then in another table i have summary of items category wise with total quantity using sumif formula. If i add new category can it be automatically added to summary table.

For eg in below table, I added a new category High, i would like to show in sumif table automatically. Now I writing High in sumif table and copying formula from above row. Pivot table can be an alternnative but needs to manually refresh after new category is added.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.

Can you post your sample data rather than an image.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.
