sum range of cells given certain criteria

[jbenfleming]

You probably read this title and thought "=sumif, dummy". However this dummy can't seem to get it to work nicely in this case. Would love some assistance. To the issue: First off, I know I could do this via VBA, but I would love to be able to accomplish it with simple formulas if possible. I have 4 columns below

[TABLE="width: 350"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]NAME[/TD]
[TD]VALUE[/TD]
[TD]NAME(NO REPEAT)[/TD]
[TD]VALUE(SUM)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]JIM[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]CAT[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]SUE[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]JIM[/TD]
[TD]9[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]JAN[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]CAT[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I would like to have the third column to have the names listed with no repeats and the fourth column to have the sum for each name. I'm thinking that the cells in red would be returned via formula. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pivot table?

 

[jbenfleming]

Ah...yup. That is the glaringly obvious solution I somehow overlooked. Thank you, friend.

Put this CSE formula in C1, and then drag down
=INDEX(A:A, LARGE((MATCH($A$1:$A$6,A:A,0)=ROW($A$1:$A$6))*ROW($A$1:$A$6),ROWS($1:1)),1)

Column D is, as you suspected, SUMIFDUMMY.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow. This dummy thanks you for your help!
