Want to know how to sum up

[Rayna_rahman00]

I'm a newbie using excel. As I run a small business. I have to record the preorder items. Now the problem is, Suppose on first slot I got order for Item 1 - 10pcs. Next on second slot I got order for the same item 7 pcs. Now what I'm doing is erasing the before recorded 10 quantity and doing sum up on my head 10+7 =17. and writing down 17. Now I want to know is there any way that it can be summed automatically every time the new order enters?
Please help me out.

yes,
how is the data laid out -
in a new column you can use a sumif() and total by item

you could just have a total , or maybe a subtotal - or a summary table showing just the items and total ordr

Book4
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
1	header1	item	header2	header3	Qty order		Total for item		OR	ITEM	Total for item
2		1			10		17			1	17
3		2			12		17			2	17
4		1			7		17			3	11
5		3			11		11
6		2			5		17
7							0
8							0
9							0
10							0

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
J2:J4	J2	=UNIQUE(FILTER(B2:B17,B2:B17<>""))
K2:K4	K2	=SUMIF($B$2:$B$23,J2,$E$2:$E$23)
G2:G10	G2	=SUMIF($B$2:$B$23,B2,$E$2:$E$23)
Dynamic array formulas.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
