Topic: Excel Help Needed :-/

hey inmates, i need some help here. i'm not sure if this is even possible with excel, but i thought i should ask.
i got a table like this

customer   text        fee
23458        blabla     10 euros
23458        blabla     30 euros
12521        blabla     5 euros
12521        blabla     6 euros
12521        blabla     17 euros
13542        blabla     8 euros

now what i want is to make a sum of all fees from each customer. so for customer 23458 this would be 40 euros. and so on.
i cant do this by hand because the table has about 30.000 entries.
of course something like this should be done in access, but thats not my fault - i got this table from my chief.
however, i have the option (if there is no other way round) to export the whole table to access, but how do you write a query which sums all the fees from every customer without telling the computer WHICH customer it has to select everytime? i want the program to automatically find table rows with the same customer ids AND to summarize it's fees. any help or tips would be very much appreciated!
thanks in advance!

I think "Data subtotals" serves this exact purpose, but I don't remember the details.

First up, you'll want to Sort your spreadsheet. (Data >> Sort...) Then you can create Subtotals. It's fairly straightforward. (Data >> Subtotals...)

When it comes to pricing, rest assured I always give the best of advice

I guess you got your answer Mas, but for next time: a pivot table is the fastest and most flexible way: it can be refreshed with new data, does not require sorting, and will not add sub-total lines all over the place

Two other excel options are to use the dsum function or the sumif function.
