I want to make a summation of all values that equal my Vlookup value.
I have 2 columns with different data: column A with names, column B with different values. The same name can be used multiple times in column A.
I want to create a table with the total value (so the sum of the different values with the samen name) for each unique name.
Since Vlookup only shows me the first match and I need to sum of all matches, how can I do this? the number of rows can be infinite.
You will need to use the SUMIF function:

The number of rows cannot be infinite: Excel has an upper (finite) limit of 1,048,576.

How would that syntax look like with this simplified example?

Thanks a lot for your help
Like this (are you not able to follow the information in the links I gave you?):
=SUMIF(lookup_range,criteria,sum_range)
So, this in E2 copied down:
=SUMIF(A$2:A$8,D2,B$2:B$8)
In Belgium you might need this:
=SUMIF(A$2:A$8;D2;B$2:B$8)
i.e. semi-colons instead of commas.
