Can Excel do things lilke Quicken

I use Excel to do my Checking Account information and with in that I have my
transactions and next to that I have a code that says what it is like Wendy's
is FF(fast Food). I was wondering if Excel can take these and then group them
together and total them for me. I don't like using Quicken when Excel will
give me a better control over what I can and Can't do.

Thanks,

You should investigate the Data, Sort function to get like items sorted
together, and the Data, Subtotals function to get sub totals by categories.

One way:
Data > Pivot table report

If you haven't used pivot tables before, take a look at Excel's built-in
"Help" about them.
