I am new to Excel, I have a "for dummies" book but what I need, I have not a
clue where to look.  I have Excel 2007, OS XP.

I have 1000 plus rows of info the columns are titled
A              B          C         D
Amount     Name    State   Code
$50.00      Nancy    IL        Telemarketing
$75.00      Kim       FL        Acquisition    
$25.00      Isabel    TX       Telemarketing
$15.00      Santos   IN        Acquisition

I want to get the sum of column A (dollar amount total) by code
(telemarketing or acquisition), is there a way to do that, and if there is,
what is it called?

I appreciate any help, either how to do this or what it is called so I can
figure out what to look under.
