What I would like to do is take the follwoing data:

Inventory Tag    Item    Location    Qty
22                   H00016    770           20
100                   H00016    770    10
76                   H00016    ATO01    5
99                   H00047    770    50
300                   H00101    BOH01    22

and end up with with the following in a new worksheet:

Thanks,
Bob

Item         Location    Qty
H00016    770    30
H00016    ATO01    5
H00047    770    50
H00101    BOH01    22

Basically I now have one line per location with the quantities summed up
into a new worksheet or workbook. Now I can upload the data to the inventory
system.

Depending on how often this is done, it may be easist to just do an
Advanced Filter to get the unique item/location combos and then do a
SUMIF formula for the quantity.

A pivot table would be ideal for what you are asking. Put your cursor in the
middle of your data somewhere and Select Data -> Pivot Table -> Follow the
Wizard that pops up (or just select finish as it normally makes the correct
decisions for you). Place your item code and location in the left column. Put
your quantities in the center data section and you are done...
