If I have a spreadsheet with various data in a column (perhaps sales rep
names) and I want to sum all values associated with that sales rep, how do I
do it.
For example, if I have hundreds of clients assigned to either sales rep A,
B, C, D or E and I want to know the dollar value of sales for each sales rep,
what is the proper formula? I would separate totals for the sales dollars
where sales rep = A, sales rep = B, on so on.

Have a look in the help index for COUNTIF & SUMIF

The proper formula would probably be either:
Sumit
Sum (probably an array sum)
Sumproduct
Dsum
or maybe a Pivot Table or SubTotals
Check the Help file on each and see which best meets your needs.
Good luck.

Assuming for example purposes that your sales rep names are in column A and
the sales figure is in column B...
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A13="A")*(B1:B13))
where you would replace the A in quote marks with the sales rep's name or ID
text (and, of course, expand the range to suit your data)

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$100)="Sales rep A"),$B$2:$B$100)
B = Sales values
Put sales rep in cells (say C2 to C10) and use:
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$100)=C2),$B$2:$B$100)
and copy down
OR look at SUMIF function

hi
=sumif()
you would need a sumif formula for each sales rep.
assuming sales are in column A and the rep names are in column b.....
=sumif(B1:B5000,"RepName", A1:A50000)
you can stack the sumif formulas in a summary column then total the summary
column for a grand total.
