    Combine Columns and add their values

    Hi All,

    I am trying to create a workbook with sheet 1 as a cover sheet. In sheet 2 I will enter data for a project and any queries that have been logged on a certain date. I want the cover sheet to combine the sum of queries for a specific project reference and tell me how many queries I have left to close out.
    For example the photo below shows the data I need to enter. I have highlighted the duplicate project numbers.
    Data.JPG

    The following image is what I want for the coversheet - Showing the project number with the sum off queries and the sum of remaining queries.

    Is there a way of doing this automatically without having to add them all manually and combining the project numbers myself? This is just a sample - the real document has hundreds of columns.

    Thanks for anyhelp!

    Welcome to the forum!

    There are a couple of ways. Do you have the Power Query add-in?

    I doubt we do, small-ish company that doesn't like to pay for much. Is the add in free? Is there a way to do it that's free?

    Yes, the add-in is free - but you should have it if you have 2013: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...5-89f6269cd605

    Can you check if you have Get & Transform on your Data ribbon?

    Re: Combine Columns and add their values

    Could you also please attach a sample workbook?

    We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
