SUMMARY
In Microsoft Excel versions 5.0 and later, 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, then 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 in column A, and the values column is in column B, and the headers are on row 1, the running category total formula at the top row would be: =SUMIF(INDIRECT("A2:A"&ROW),"="&A2,INDIRECT("B2:B"&ROW)) Copy the formula down for all rows used.
