    Consolidating data

    Census.xlsxHi

    I'm a fairly advanced Excel user but I'm stuck.

    Me and my associate are working through census data to form a database aof sorts. We currently have all the data we need in an Excel Spreadsheet and now we need to consolidate some of it down.
    We have a column with the town's name and then we have all that town's data in the rows to its right.

    You'll notice:
    The towns column has many duplicate towns listed and we want one row per town.
    The duplicate towns listed have data that is not the same and we want the sum of each column (town's data) with only one town listed.

    We aren't entirely sure how we can do this but are certain it can be done.

    Please explain a way to do this as simply as possible.

    Any help will be thouroughly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    It could be done using a macro (Code). If you want a code solution, please attach your sample.

    with an pivot table.

    but since you only show 1 town and one state you can't see all the avange of an pivot table.

    see the attached file.
