So in the example above- the details that are in column 'F' Milk would merge to one row and the total of all those rows would appear in column K - the row that says 'Milk, Sugar' would not merge with the others.

I would appreciate any help

Thanks

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Does this help?

Code:
Dim Ast As Long
Dim AEnd  As Long
Dim ACnt  As Long
Dim BCnt  As Long
Dim PrimeCol As String
Dim MergeCol As String


Sub MergeDataTest()
'Fixed range at the moment. Ast needs to be set with 1st row, AEnd last row
Ast = 1
AEnd = 9
ACnt = Ast
BCnt = Ast + 1
PrimeCol = "E"
MergeCol = "F"


Do While ACnt <= AEnd
    Do While BCnt <= AEnd
        If Range(PrimeCol & ACnt).Value = Range(PrimeCol & BCnt).Value Then
            Range(MergeCol & ACnt).Value = Range(MergeCol & ACnt).Value + Range(MergeCol & BCnt).Value
            Range("A" & BCnt & ":F" & BCnt).Delete Shift:=xlUp
            AEnd = AEnd - 1
        Else
            BCnt = BCnt + 1
        End If
    Loop
    ACnt = ACnt + 1
    BCnt = ACnt + 1
Loop
End Sub

I have just realised that I have given you the wrong column headings (apologies) the description (milk etc) is column 'J' and the cost is column 'K'

The spreadsheet look like this:

[TABLE="width: 836"]
<colgroup><col width="156" style="width: 117pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5546;"> <col width="58" style="width: 43pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2048;"> <col width="147" style="width: 110pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5233;"> <col width="38" style="width: 29pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1365;" span="2"> <col width="50" style="width: 38pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1792;"> <col width="32" style="width: 24pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1137;"> <col width="119" style="width: 89pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 4238;"> <col width="158" style="width: 119pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5632;"> <col width="142" style="width: 106pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5034;"> <col width="112" style="width: 84pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3982;"> <col width="64" style="width: 48pt;"> <tbody>[TR]
