Hi All,

Here is the set up of my data:

Project:    Amount$:
A             0
A             1
A             2
---------------
TotalA:       3
---------------
B             3
B             4
---------------
TotalB:       7
---------------
C             5
---------------
TotalC:       5
---------------
Total:       15
 
Now all of the different project types themselves such as A,B,C are
dynamic range sub-sets within the larger Project dynamic range itself
because everyday these will change i.e. today there are 3A's, 12B's
and 37C's....tomorrow there may be no A's, 14B's and 28C's. Now the
problem is that how will i add up their respective totals
automatically. Is there someway via VBA/Macro to automatically tie in
the project (in one column) with its corresponding amount (in another
column) and spit out a total keeping in mind the fact that both
columns will be changing daily.

Many Thanks.

Try to arrange your data like below:

   Column A    Column B
1  Project:    Amount$:
2     A             0
3     A             1
4     A             2
5     A             3
6     B             3
7     B             4
8     B             2
9     C             5
10    C             3
11    C             1
12                  0 
13                  0 
14                  0 
15                  0 
16                  0 

extend your matrix if needed.
and remember to set the range accordingly in the following formulas 

the formula will be as below:
Total A =SUMIF(A2:B16,"A",B2:B16)
Total B =SUMIF(A2:B16,"B",B2:B16)
Total C =SUMIF(A2:B16,"C",B2:B16)

Hope this is what you need.

Data-->Subtotals is a very under-used feature.

You already show totals in your layout, so I assume this is what you
WANT, and not what you HAVE.

Sort by column A. Click Data-->Subtotals and choose to sum column B by
values in column A.

Now, if you mean that your data *really* is laid out the way you show
it, and you want to continually add data to it each day, then you will
need a macro to find the total rows and delete them, and then run the
subtotals.
