You should be able to do that with the Sumif function. Say your data table
is A1:C4, and the department numbers you want to sum by are in E1:E2. In F1,
you'd enter
=Sumif($C$1:$C$4,E1,$B$1:$B$4)
Then you could copy the formula down to F2.
Hope that helps.

A pivot table will do that for you. On the data menu select Pivot Table and
follwo the wizard. Put your Departments in the left hand column and the
amounts in the data section. It will automatically create all of your totals
for you by department. You could also add supplier names and move things
around to suit. if you want to get fancy just add an autoformat and you will
get a very professional looking report...
