Merging cells/totals

I have a work sheet that has mulitple items and totals that I wish to merge and have the one item with the totals from each as one:

Example

Baked Beans 31 £17.05
Baked Beans 65 £35.75
Baked Beans 44 £22.00
Beef Burgers 12 £12.60
Beef Burgers 82 £82.95
Beef Burgers 71 £71.40

Need:

Baked Beans 140 £166.95

Hope this makes sense

RE: Merging cells/totals

Hi Pennie,

Thank you for your question.

Are the three values in the same cell or separate cells?

Simon

RE: Merging cells/totals

They are in separate cells.

RE: Merging cells/totals

Hi Pennie,

Thank you for the response. Please find a formula below which will concatenate the product with the two totals. This is the sample data I used.

Beans 23 £4.56
beans 45 £7.89
beans 58 £6.59
Burgers 67 £3.56

A1&" "&SUMIF(A1:C4,"Beans",B1:B4)
&" " & SUMIF(A1:C4,"Beans",C1:C4)
The & is used to join separate cell values. The Speech marks with a space represents a space between each value

Cell A1 contains Beans. SumIf function is saying using the data range a1:c4, find the criteria of Beans and the third and final argument is the Sum Range which is the list of numbers.

I hope this makes sense.

Simon

Hi Pennie,

Update on formula including concatenating £ sign before the total cost.

=A1&" "&SUMIF(A1:C3,"Beans",B1:B3)&" "& "£" &SUMIF(A1:C3,"Beans",C1:C3)

Hope this resolves your question.

Let me know.

Regards

Simon

RE: Merging cells/totals

This just give me beans and £0 in the next cell it does not seem to add the other cells to it. My it guy is going to have a look for me. Thank you

RE: Merging cells/totals

If its row by row to concatinate:

=A1&" "&B1

Then copy the formula down the column

RE: Merging cells/totals

This was the way I was doing it but thought that there may be a quicker way. Thank you

RE: Merging cells/totals

Hi Pennie,

Slightly confused now as the last answer posted doesn't total the figures for each product.

I thought you wanted to add the quantities together for the beans product and the costs for the bean product.

I will send you the spreadsheet I created to show you how I did it.

If this is not the result you were looking for could you please reply and clarify with more detail perhaps using the spreadsheet I am sending you.

Regards

Simon

RE: Merging cells/totals

Hello Pennie,

I was browsing through our forum and came across your question and thought that using subtotals may solve your problem.

I have taken the liberty of creating a Workbook with two sheets...

Sheet1 contains the previously proposed suggestion made very clear.

Sheet2 contains the same data, however, uses the subtotals procedure to produce the figures you seem to require.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney

Excel tip:

Reset Excel toolbars to default settings

If you find any of your toolbars in Excel have changed (i.e. they are missing or have extra buttons) then you can reset them to their defaults.

1. Go to Tools - Customise.
2. Select the Toolbars tab.
3. Select (highlight) the name of the toolbar you wish to reset, then click the Reset button on the right.
4. Close the dialogue box.
