    Angry Consolidate Rows Based on Partial Information in Column

    Hello,
    I am working on data where each row has a 9 digit number assigned to it (College Campuses). The first 6 digits are specific to each College and the last 3 are labels for each Location. I then have columns and columns of data for each. What I would like to do is have the columns summed based on the first 6 numbers of the 9 digit number (combine the data for all locations into 1 line). I also then want the last 3 numbers to be deleted so that there is only the first 6 numbers remaining and everything from the columns that started with those 6 numbers added together into 1 final sum. I have been doing this manually but with 14,000+ rows, it is going to take me months to process this all manually.
    Thank you for any help you can give,
    awiltz

    It's best to attach a sample file that shows expected results. Please see the yellow banner at the top of this page and follow those instructions.

    Attached is a sample of the data. Rows 87-107 have been manually processed and 108-126 need to be processed. Rows 108-111 would be the first example of rows that need to be combined because the first 6 numbers in Column A are the same.

    Re: Consolidate Rows Based on Partial Information in Column

    For some reason I couldn't get the formulas to work as I wanted because of text vs. numbers, but here's what I did to get results.

    First, I put your data into a table. You don't have to do this but I think it's simpler so you don't have to change your formulas.
    Second, because I had trouble doing matches with wildcards because of numbers, I inserted a column to the left of your data to get the first 6 digits (=left(A2,6).

    Since you are using O365, I the used Dynamic Array Formulas to get your results. To get the unique first 6 characters, I used this formula:
    =UNIQUE(Table1[Column1]) (or UNIQUE(A2:A126)
    Then the formula next to that one is:
    =XLOOKUP($B128#,Table1[[Column1]:[Column1]],Table1[INSTNM],"Not found",0,1)
    you can then drag this formula across to the right before you want to start totaling the numbers.

    Where you total the numbers, I entered this formula:
    =SUMIFS(Table1[MURD17],Table1[[Column1]:[Column1]],$B128#)

    This formula you can drag all the way across the rest of your rows.
