Hi All!

I am trying to figure out a way to sum only the values in column B based on all duplicates from column A, then delete all duplicate rows, while retaining rows that do not have a duplicate. What I initially came up with was from another thread, but after modifying the code, it still leaves the duplicates, but also adds the duplicate names to column C, basically duplicating the name multiple times. Here is an example of what I'm trying to combine, not all items are duplicates:

Here's the code I am using - probably not the most efficient, so I am definitely open to something else.

VBA Code:
Sub SumandRemove() 'Excel VBA code to sum rows and remove duplicates.
    Dim ar   As Variant
    Dim i    As Long
    Dim b    As Long
    Dim d    As Long
    Dim str  As String
    Dim Col  As Collection
    
    d = 1
    ar = Sheet5.Cells(2, 1).CurrentRegion.Value
    Set Col = New Collection
    With Col
        For i = 2 To UBound(ar, 1)
            str = ar(i, 1) 'The unique value is in the 1st column
            If Not Exists(Col, str) Then
                d = d + 1
                For b = 1 To UBound(ar, 2)
                    ar(d, b) = ar(i, b)
                Next b
            .Add d, str
            Else
                For b = 2 To UBound(ar, 2) 'the number column is start Column 2
                    ar(.Item(str), b) = ar(.Item(str), b) + ar(i, b)
                Next b
            End If
        Next i
    End With
    Sheet5.Range("A2").Resize(d, UBound(ar, 2)).Value = ar
End Sub

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Is this what you are looking for. You did not show us an expected result so I am guessing at your needs.

I do apologize - I got ahead of myself. You are on the right track though. Here is an expected output:

All rows without duplicate values would be retained as well as the item description.

Power Query
Load your table to PQ Editor
Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Source,{"T/R"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns",{{"***BOM***", Int64.Type}, {"Quantity", Int64.Type}, {"Description", type text}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"***BOM***"}, {{"Total", each List.Sum([Quantity]), type nullable number}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"

Reload your table as a new query

Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Source,{"T/R"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns",{{"***BOM***", Int64.Type}, {"Quantity", Int64.Type}, {"Description", type text}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"***BOM***"}, {{"Total", each List.Sum([Quantity]), type nullable number}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"

JOin the two tables

Power Query:
let
    Source = Table.NestedJoin(Table1, {"***BOM***"}, #"Table1 (2)", {"***BOM***"}, "Table1 (2)", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Table1 (2)" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Table1 (2)", {"Description"}, {"Table1 (2).Description"})
in

Another option.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub One_Key_Multi_Items()
    Dim rng As Range, r As Range, txt As String
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, n As Long, ws As Worksheet, ar
    Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet5")                           '<<< *** change to actual sheet name ***
    Set rng = ws.Range(Range("A1"), Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
    ar = ws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion

    With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
        For Each r In rng
            txt = r.Value
            If Not .exists(txt) Then
                n = n + 1
                .Add txt, n
                For j = 1 To UBound(ar, 2)
                    ar(n, j) = r.Offset(, j - 1)
                Next j
            Else
                For i = 2 To UBound(ar, 2)
                    If IsNumeric(ar(.Item(txt), i)) Then
                        ar(.Item(txt), i) = ar(.Item(txt), i) + r.Offset(, i - 1)
                    Else
                        ar(.Item(txt), i) = ar(.Item(txt), i)
                    End If
                Next i
            End If
        Next r
    End With
     
    With ws
        .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Offset(1).ClearContents
        .Range("A1").Resize(n, 3) = ar
    End With
End Sub

Solution
Gents, thank you for the help! I am not familiar with PQ and wasn't quite certain how I was going to integrate it. The VBA code provided by Kevin works like a champ. I'll compare it to what I tried to see where I went wrong. I did make a few changes to the code I posted, but still couldn't get the expected output and it kept copying the first row. I get rusty when I'm not looking at this every day.

Again, thank you!

Glad we could help & thanks for the feedback :)
It's worth learning Power Query, as you can see Alan's solution requires a lot less code (and is therefore easier to change/maintain).

In case it is of any use and depending if order is important, perhaps Excel's built-in Pivot Table feature (used in tabular form) might be worth considering as a manual option?

FYI

Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

- Follow this link to learn how to install Power Query in Excel 2010 / 2013.

- Follow this link for an introduction to Power Query functionality.

- Follow this link for a video which demonstrates how to use Power Query code provided.

Hi
Same as kevein but...
VBA Code:
Sub test()
Dim a, w
Dim i&
a = Sheets("Sheet5").Cells(1).CurrentRegion
    With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
        For i = 1 To UBound(a)
            If a(i, 1) <> "" Then
                If Not .exists(a(i, 1)) Then
                .Add a(i, 1), Array(a(i, 1), a(i, 3), a(i, 2))
                Else
                w = .Item(a(i, 1)): w(2) = w(2) + a(i, 2): .Item(a(i, 1)) = w
                End If
        End If
    Next
Sheets("Sheet5").Cells(1, 5).Resize(.Count, 3) = Application.Index(.items, 0, 0)
End With
End Sub
