extract list of names and elimanate duplicates

[petty]

Hi.

I got a spreadsheet wherby i put my invoices and products from my
supliers in.

Like
Supliers Product Total
Almond Fish 5000
Pierce Beef 2000
Almond Fish 5000
anton Beef 1000
peter Groceries 1000


Now i need to ectract the names to a sheet and total the purchases in
one colom
like

Suplier
Almond 10 000
Pierce 2000
anton 1000
peter 1000

This is to check if my recons is ok. I have a months purchace on one
sheet. There is alot of duplicate names and some is just single
entries. I can do the lookup funtion on the name, but i strugle to
ectract the names to show list with no duplicates. Be so kind to share
what your lookup funtion might be as well

Thanks alot
Martin

Hi
use a pivot table for this. See:
