Question : How do I summarise totals per category?

I have a category column and an order summary collumn. I would like to distinguish in a summary the different order spent for each category:

So I have in column F15: F115 the different categories (antenna, personal account, company account etc, which comes from a drop down list in formula summary work sheet called excel). I have the order spent in column J15: G115.

I would like now in column F4:F10 to compare total order spent for each category. Please see attachment

Any advise would be very much appreciated>

Answer : How do I summarise totals per category?

Hi


Attached you'll find a working solution.
The data to be lookat can be changed and the position where you put it as well, but you'll get the idea. It's not perfectly clear to me where you wanted this order spent per category.

Formula used:

=SUMIF($F$12:$F$120;F3;$J$12:$J$120)

where F3 is the category, F12:F120 is data with categories, and J12;J120 are the spent amounts.
