I am hoping somebody can tell me how to accomplish what I am trying to do. I have an excel spreadsheet with several pieces of my businesses inventory listed. Each piece of inventory may have 30 rows that make up the total for that piece of inventory. I have a column titled code that designates what each row is (eg - repair, interest, etc). I would like to get a total for each piece of equipment by code and then a grand total for each code for the entire sheet. I have approximately 500 pieces of inventory so needless to say it is a pretty large spreadsheet. Is what I am trying to do possible?

Thanks for any help or advice you can give.

Have you looked at the Subtotal feature under Data on the menu bar?

Yes, it is possible, if you could zip the spreadsheet and post it up I would be happy to help you with it.

it is certainly possible, excel can do many amazing things... truly a great program, if only 1 person could fully understand every aspect...

try using the "auto-sum" feature. It should be on one of your toolbars. Its the greek letter sigma and can help you preform all sorts of mathematic functions mainly having to do with large amounts of data
