    Evaluating a dropdown list with values

    hi,
    i have a issue I can't find a sloution myself:
    Column A lets me enter a amount (in $), Column B lets me choose a option from a dropdown-list (elements: food, car, house...)
    Want I want to do (on the same sheet): another table that sums up all the amounts (entered in column A) entered when for example 'food' is chosen (in column B).

    Thanks for any help!!

    That function would be SUMIF().

    =SUMIF(B:B, "Food", A:A)

    Or if you were building a table on the right had "Food" in cell D5:
    =SUMIF(B:B, D5, A:A)
