    How to remove duplicated ID but have them add up the values the ID represneted

    Remove duplicate but add values.xlsx

    Hi,

    I have about 800 records and the the unique identifier are the names. Some owners are repeated several times and they have different values for the EDU column in my project. I need to remove any duplicated owners but I need to add up the values of each record that had value so I can get a combined value for one owner instead of a repeated owner with smaller values. How would I go by doing that? A formula or is there a tool in excel? I am lost on this one. I uploaded a sample file so you can see what I trying to do. Thanks.

    BTW i found if the values are the same for the EDU then I can not add them since it is also duplicated. I can only add up the unique values for the EDU

    The subtotal function should help you. Go to Data > Subtotals. Use "Sum" at every change in "Owner" for "EDU".

    Is there any other way? My program basically froze when I ran it. I also can't add the EDU if it is duplicated, since it is a duplicated EDU.

    You have to convert the text to numbers. Select from B2 all the down to the bottom. At the top left-hand corner of B2 you'll see a little yellow icon with an "!". Click on the icon and then click "Convert to Number". Then try it again.

    This, in D2, copied down, will pull out unique ID's...
    =IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$57,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($D1:D$1,$A$2:$A$57),0,0),0)),"")

    However, there are no values to adfd in the file youi uploaded

    I have no idea how you created that.

    I'm only looking for one value per owner from the EDU. If the EDU is repated then it is only added onece such as


    OWNER___________________________EDU
    A T AND T COMMS OF CALIF INC____00000.5855 <----It is repeated several times
    A T AND T COMMS OF CALIF INC____00000.5855
    A T AND T COMMS OF CALIF INC____00000.5855
    A T AND T COMMS OF CALIF INC____00000.5855
    A T AND T COMMS OF CALIF INC____00004.5270 <-----This one is different

    So the Result for the EDU and the Owner is 00000.5855 + 00004.5270 = 00005.1125



    OWNER ______________________EDU
    A T AND T COMMS OF CALIF INC____00005.1125 <---What the end result should look like

    Okay I appreciate the help and tried using your sheet but they Owner name is sill repeated. I tried adding the rest of the rows but still it seems as if there is no filter/formula that. require just one instance of the Owner name and One instance of the EDU.

    The result should be around 10 different Owner names from the example along with the one instance of the EDU. (10 and 10)
    Sort of like using the filter but I can't loose the EDU from the rows unless that EDU in that row was repeated more than once. I can only add that EDU with the matching owner name once. If the owner name is repeated ten times but has the same EDU then the EDU is not added to anything since the EDU was repeated. The only time it does add is when the EDU is different.

    The contents of the cells in EDU are text, not numeric

    With my 1st formula in column D, use this in E2, copied down...
    =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$57=D2)*($B$2:$B$57*1))

    See attached. Removed duplicates from Column A using the excel feature, then did a simple "=COUNTIF". Requires minimal familiarity with excel.

    It's for 800 records. So I would have to spend too much time doing it this way.

    Basically now my requirements have changed so now all I have to is basically delete the duplicates and sum up their values. I tried using the consolidating tool under data but for whatever reason it doesn't work with my data. I need a formula to display one owner for each unique owner and then the sum of all of that same owner's EDU. I tried looking online but still same issue.

    Re: How to remove duplicated ID but have them add up the values the ID represneted

    The number of records is essentially irrelevant. And my previous post should have said "=SUMIF", not "=COUNTIF". Following my previous instructions will achieve your desired objective and take less than 1 minute.

    Re: How to remove duplicated ID but have them add up the values the ID represneted

    I seem to not understand.

    Okay I put the this formula where I would like the results to show and I get a 0 value and no Owner. I tried messing with it, deleting duplicates and I am still lost.
    I even tried adding the information to the one you have up here and I get the same result as I had before with no owner and 0 values. I just changed the formula to this =SUMIF($A$2:$B$786,E2,$B$2:$B$786) since 786 is the last record.

    Re: How to remove duplicated ID but have them add up the values the ID represneted

    You can solve it on three ways
    sumif formula
    sumproduct formula
    Or the most simple solution (I think) is the use of a pivot table.

    Re: How to remove duplicated ID but have them add up the values the ID represneted

    Thanks for all the help. Yeah the pivot table looks the best but again I did the same exact thing but When I change the values under the pivot table list from count to Sum of EDU, the pivot table produces all 0's.

    I tried convert the EDU to number, text, general and still nothing. The count works but for whatever reason the sum doesn't. Is it setting I forgot to change or something along those lines?

    I did not change the celformat.
    What happen if you change the celfomat (column B) in numbers with 2 decimals?

    Re: How to remove duplicated ID but have them add up the values the ID represneted

    hi
    i think you can use pivottable.

    first convert edu text to number using formula value() or use the option convert to text

    then go to insert pivottable.select table range $A$1:$b$57 choose where you want the table.
    choose fields all.
    owner name should be select under rowlabel and edu under values.



    thanks
