SUMMARY
In Microsoft Excel 2000, if you have a column of categories and a column of values, you can calculate a running category total in a third column.



MORE INFORMATION
If you have a column of categories and a column of values, you can create a running category total, as in the following example:   Categories      Values   Running category total ---  1               $4.00                     $4.00   2               $8.00                     $8.00   1               $5.00                     $9.00   2               $7.00                    $15.00   1               $5.00                    $14.00   3               $4.00                     $4.00   4               $3.00                     $3.00   2               $5.00                    $20.00   1               $7.00                    $21.00   1               $7.00                    $28.00   4               $5.00                     $8.00   3               $5.00                     $9.00   2               $5.00                    $25.00   2               $6.00                    $31.00   3               $5.00                    $14.00   4               $6.00                    $14.00   4               $7.00                    $21.00   3               $4.00                    $18.00   2               $6.00                    $37.00   2               $7.00                    $44.00   1               $6.00                    $34.00   1               $6.00                    $40.00   1               $4.00                    $44.00   1               $6.00                    $50.00   4               $5.00                    $26.00   4               $5.00                    $31.00   2               $6.00                    $50.00   1               $6.00                    $56.00   2               $3.00                    $53.00 Assuming that the category column is column A, the values column is column B, and the headings are in row 1, the running category total formula at the top row is:

=SUMIF(INDIRECT("A2:A"&ROW),"="&A2,INDIRECT("B2:B"&ROW))

Copy the formula for all rows used.
